Intro to Massing and Curved Curtain Wall Systems in Autodesk Revit 2014

As you may have guessed...this video explores the process of creating more complex curtain wall and wall systems using simple In-Place massing techniques.

[@kathywagner2551]

Thanks so much Travis. Very nice you explained this. I need to know about this since we are designing a skyscraper. And I love organic shapes. I love how fairly easy you made it to be. Great job !

[@1992aleesha]

You have saved my life! I am amazed at how simple that was! I will definitely be using this for every project!

[@WB-kx7jw]

Creating a curved butterfly roof with a standing seam finish... this helped me soooooo much! Thank you!

[@vicarioustube]

Thank you VERY MUCH you make this so much less stressful than it seems to be. I subscribed, 50+ here, we need to upkeep I am at school for 3D knowledge improvement!

[@paraguayaX303]

This is so straight forward and informative! thank you!

[@GlowGamingZone]

Thank you so much! Revit is more flexible than I could imagine! Thank youuu♡☆♡☆♡☆♡♡☆

[@fasilrm7496]

Thanks, your classes are really awsome

[@ravielink]

I was using the structure template for my work. I followed all the steps like you said but it only showed the curtain wall. Apparently the glass was still missing within the wall . But when i tried these steps in construction and architectural template it worked like a charm. I still dont know what I did wrong while using structural template but I'm glad that I can do this in other templates. Thanks a lot for the help.

Good stuff mate! ...I'm not British but w/e. Any and all Revit videos are wanted so keep it up.

"Might get some leaks in this wall" hahahaha I lost it...

[@salman05035]

this is very important tutorial for curtain walls I'm thankful to you.....:)

[@mehganfrancis1082]

you are a life saver!!! Thanks!

thank you ! that was so useful ..

[@pault207]

loved it thanks so much.

[@rajaneesh999]

Thanks this is very helpful.

[@kevykev913]

great instruction!

[@Idesignsolrobots]

Yes, to get a more accurate illustration of curtain walls in a curvaceous form, you would need to use the adaptive components. There are predefined curtain wall grids for curved walls, otherwise you would need to create your own curtain wall panel family.

[@engenheirogelson]

parabéns pelo video com boas explicações

[@hershmyster]

Very helpful!

[@kowshikprasad5556]

Thank you so much brother

[@yptocins7304]

THANK YOU SO MUCH GODBLESS!!!!

[@maythazin2682]

thank you so much sir...

[@RosPlays]

for the curtain system, is it possible to make each panel hexagons instead of squares?

[@RichardBeatson]

Thanks for sharing

[@rawkrXbabee]

thank you!! saved my project lol

[@edhsieh2379]

Do you know how if I want to put a door on your glass wall ? Thank you so much !!

[@jyuu]

Hi, very useful video! Just wanted to know whether it's possible to create a curved wall (like how you have done it in this video) but with varied heights? I've been desperately looking for a tutorial! Thanks.

[@raekell]

I finally understand what massing is for hahaha. Question: for the curtain wall, I have a curved facade, but the roof is also curved. Can I adjust the top profile to not be flat to one level/plane? Excellent video btw! Thank you!

[@nadamianoa6235]

hi travis, i have watched your video and i find it very useful, but when i followed your video i made the curtain wall system and it will only display mullions without glaze, i tried to edit it in the curtain wall system family and change the curtain panel from none to system panel glazed in the edit family window and it still woudn't make any glaze

[@Idesignsolrobots]

Hi Ravi, what has happened is that your View Settings for that view are set to 'Show Mass by View Settings'. Try accessing the Massing and Site Tab, and in the Conceptual Mass panel, use the drop down menu to select 'Show Mass Form and Floors' It has an icon with a lightbulb on it. If this still doesn't work, you may have Mass unchecked in model categories in your Visibility/Graphics settings in your view properties.

[@rajakalithasan234]

thanks .....its very helpful.....;}

[@SameerAhmad-wm2ei]

please could you tell me how i can array concrete columns in ellipse , but all columns should be faced towards ellipse center

[@elliottlet1d667]

Cant seem to find 'solid form' i have the revit 2014 version. Any ideas? thanks

[@naushinsome]

Hi, how do you make a simple curved wall that is curved only vertically? Say if you had a rectangluar prism, and needed to curve only one wall vertically to the roof? When I try your method, the wall just becomes straight on an angle, when I need it to be curved.

[@shortlineslalom]

thanks very much

[@24zick]

Thanks. How can I add a door to such curtain wall?

[@rakeshb7585]

Super video

[@Meerios3]

Please help, i have 2015 revit, I have created a curtain wall system by using the mass tool and its curved. Why wont it let me attach it to the roof which is slanted?

[@simbawoof]

thank you :)

[@kalukp]

thanks a lot.

[@danielwallerjr6857]

How soon can you make a tutorial video for beginners for making a Slanted Curtain Wall Without Mass using an octagon?

[@nikoleistung]

Thanks a lot! I have a question - Is there any way to make an opening in a curved wall, which is not an arc, but the way you create it?

[@Idesignsolrobots]

There are a couple ways of creating openings in curved walls. One way is to create a void in your mass, and then when you apply the wall type to the face of the mass, it should leave the opening. The other is to use the Shaft or Opening tools. In this respect, you can create a square opening in curved wall. Unfortunately, one can't use the Edit Profile option, as the curved wall does not have a plane for you to modify the profile sketch. You can also get some interesting features by using a roof or floor on slopes, and using the Attach Top/Base option and then removing the floor or roof after.

[@cadeosysengineeringservice8469]

Very useful WoW

[@diegofernb]

how do i make the glass panels curved?

[@junsantiago226]

The connection between mullion and transom in that curve curtainwall is not good, do you have any advise on how to make a good and clean connection between mullion and transom in that curve curtainwall?

[@techniformmetalcurvinginc5731]

Now if curving the curtain wall were just that easy!!!!

[@celinebayangel]

- I made 2 curves: Invalid shape found in original. Parts could not be created

[@Insbk568]

thaaank you

[@elieabedi942]

beingpamm hello

[@jimmynathan4756]

why can't i combine the normal wall with this curved wall?

[@Meerios3]

It wont change when i change the spacing what do i do?

[@ravielink]

Every time I try to create system like you did in 6:20, I get the message "None of the created elements are visible in 3D View: {3D} View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings." I tried to play around little but but still its not working. Can you tell me how to solve this? Please

[@ced777sleep2die]

If I don't want to have a curved wall but a wall that is made of several planes (which are basically triangular surfaces not curves), as if you are slicing a solid form in Autocad with the slice tool, please help

[@bradmoule]

Im having this exact problem today, did you ever find a solution?!

[@amineblidry5978]

Genius

[@emorphan]

thumbs up!!! thanks

[@caligo641]

Is there a way to rotate the grid layout? When I click the Configure Grid Layout icon there's no option for changing the angle, and no option in the properties menu, just justification and offset.

[@Idesignsolrobots]

If I'm not mistaken, you will change it in the U and V directions in the properties panel. You can change the angles from 0 to 90 degrees for angled mullions.

[@nadezhdabobyleva8914]

I have the same question as Meer

[@DarrinShafer]

So I can make the mass for a curtain wall but when I get to creating a curtain wall, I don't get the create curtain wall option, mine still says create form (can't choose) and a blank subcategory spot. Can anyone help me?

[@DarrinShafer]

Still no luck. Sorry.

[@paraguayaX303]

Wait...I just noticed this happens to me too :(

[@raulnieves7043]

Bit of a long time, but in case you are still wondering. Did you create a solid wall when you were massing? And did you create multiple levels in your Curtain wall design?

[@felipemvera]

When you did the wall by face at 9:10 my revit wouldn't let me do that. hmm

[@MrM3mari]

thanks i was need it
go ahed "

[@chriscruz5359]

those 9 dislikes were all jamaicans who thought it said "dis i like"

[@JinzExpatLife]

RACIST

[@photogramistic]

In terms of Design its ok..in terms of Architecture this is useless and wrong. The glass pannels must to have a normal insert instead of rare individual angles.

[@natascha_kn]

You helped me a lot, thanks =)
