Feeley trained at the Art Students League before serving in the Marines during World War II.Īfter the war’s end, Feeley began a career teaching art. More information where firms connect Dynamo to Revit, establishing rules that automated the creation of detailed models.Born in Iowa in 1910 and raised in California, Paul Feeley moved to New York in his twenties to pursue a career in art.

Once we experiment the tools within Revit then we can take it further by integrating macros and codes.įor code specialists, Dynamo is one of the best ways to solve complex shapes and automate the design process (an infrastructure example). The possibilities are limitless - creating parametric trusses, tensile roofs, decorative elements, slatted furniture etc

massing & voids by David Light where he describes simple steps using voids to cut massing geometry in Revit.

Best way to create a pipe and twists in several non uniform directions.I'm posting a few examples from the community hoping there is an initiative to explore more in this arena: Organic modeling within Revit has not been ventured into as much and complex modeling is associated with formula driven modeling.

We want the community to try and experiment using tools within Revit - nothing beats its parametric benefits and break the myth that Revit is not the easiest tool to create (multiple)curved forms or fluid shapes. Now, the Path and the Profiles can be edited almost in any this attracts more responses, for it to qualify as a feature - that adds fuel to a user's imagination translated using modeling tools to create unique and complex forms in Revit.Select the Path Reference Line and the Profile Lines ( use filter and take care not to select the points or other entities except path and profiles) and Create Form > Solid Form.Place the the Points Driven by Host (point 2) on their final positions on the path.Using Spline Through Points, connect the Reference (hosted on Normal Planes ) so to create a simple rectangle ( 2 points > make a straight line, 3 points a curve).align these points to them so to form a simple shape ( a rectangle for instance) Using the Reference Planes made in step 3. On each Hosted Point’s Normal Reference Plane place Reference Points (hosted on this plane).In Floor Plan View draw a few Reference Plans in order to use them as guides for the profiles point placement.They are connected to the spline and can move only along it.The number of these point equals the number of the profiles that are thought to be used on the previously made spline place 2, 3 or more Points ( Driven by Host).Turn the spline into Reference Line ( select the spline and from Properties > Identity Data > check Is Reference Line) First, in Conceptual Mass, create a row of Reference Points (at least 3 points) placed vertically one above another, select them and conect them using Spline Through Points.

I’ve made a description of a rough modeling process( a screencast is attached)

If I try to make the form from the beginning using Path and Profiles it will be a big chance not to work.īut if I’ll create first a simple sweep and then edit the Path and the Profiles it works surprisingly well, allowing almost every alteration of the form I realized something very interesting in making sweeps with different profiles in Revit.
