Adaptive Creation of Sunshade Using Revit
Start by creating an adaptive generic model family. Then, establish a reference plane in the workspace as illustrated in the image below. This fundamental step is essential for defining the location within your model.
Next, navigate to the right side of the view and add four model points onto the selected reference plane. Convert these points into adaptive points, which will serve as the four corners of the bracket. At adaptive point 1, insert a parameterized circle, as shown in the following figure:
Repeat the above process to add another parameterized circle at the central reference point.
Afterwards, select both the bottom and middle circles, and create solid forms for the middle and top circles respectively.
Once the bracket is complete, create a new mass and import the bracket into this mass. Within the mass, create three simple planes and divide them accordingly. Make sure to perform this within the “Surface” representation mode and verify the nodes inside the planes.
Proceed by selecting and creating elements through the establishment of two reference lines. Construct the three planes as depicted below, ensuring that all planes are properly meshed.
Finally, import the adaptive families following the method described in the previous article (which will not be repeated here). Add the families sequentially at each adaptive point.
