BIM Software Tip: How to Handle Repetitive Components in Revit
The volume function in Revit is incredibly powerful, enabling the creation of complex designs with ease. One standout feature is its UV mesh division, which offers remarkable flexibility. This function effectively replaces the traditional use of arrays for flat designs and addresses challenges related to repetitive components on curved surfaces.
The process is straightforward and can be broken down into three simple steps:
1. Create the desired surface or shape using conceptual volumes;
2. Generate repetitive component elements based on metric conventional models and fill patterns;
3. Assemble both elements together.
Let’s take a look at some examples where this method simplifies complex tasks:

Note: The final repetitive component of the corridor has yet to be completed. Feel free to experiment on your own, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. This approach is more about adopting a way of thinking, and I hope it proves useful to everyone.
