Curtain walls are commonly used in modern architecture, adding a sleek and elegant appearance to buildings. Different architectural designs feature various types of curtain walls, including many with curved roofs. These curved curtain walls offer a streamlined aesthetic compared to traditional rectangular ones. So, how can you create a curved curtain wall in Revit? Let’s explore the process below: Drawing a Curved Curtain Wall Roof in Revit.
1. Start by creating a new project. Then, draw a curtain wall using the attribute types shown in the figure below.
The curtain wall will appear as illustrated in the following image:
2. To achieve a wavy, curved curtain wall roof, you need to stretch the roof so it aligns with the curtain wall, forming the curved roof shape. Here’s how to do it:
Select the option to draw an extruded roof, as demonstrated in the figure.
Next, choose an elevation plane and draw the curve that will define the extruded roof’s profile.
3. After confirming the curve, create the extruded roof along it. Then, select the curtain wall and attach it underneath the roof, as shown in the image below.
The result will look like this:
Finally, you can permanently hide the roof by selecting “Hide” to reveal the curved curtain wall roof, as depicted in the picture.
Summary: By following these steps, you can learn how to combine different Revit functions—such as “Stretch Roof” and “Attach Top/Bottom”—to construct a curtain wall with a curved top. This approach allows you to create a variety of shapes and models by using other commands in combination, expanding your design possibilities.
