'Divided surface' problems
Hi fellow Revit users
I'm battling with Revit's divided surface tool to panelise a curved 3d surface. It seems that when I use the in-built tools, Revit will divide the surface evenly into U and V grids. This is not what I would expect given I have selected 'fixed distance' between grids.
The result is extreme panel distortion despite a fixed grid distance of 1 meter, of which I have attempted to capture with the image on the left.
The image on the right is based on the same surface but uses Dynamo to control the distance between points with panelisation more in line with my desired requirements and the grid clipped as expected. That being said creating the end panels is quite challenging.
My end goal is to panelise the surface into a diagrid arrangment with similar size panels. However i'm reaching the limits of my Dynamo capabilities hence the query if the out of the box 'divide surface' tool can be made to work.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
(As a side note 'fixed distance' only appears to work on planar surfaces (with the grid clipped as expected) but as soon as the surface is pulled out of plane by moving a control point, then the grid divides evenly.)
