How to Apply Veneer to Curved Ramps in Revit
When working on practical project modeling, it is often necessary to create anisotropic construction models, such as curved ramp veneers. Below is a concise guide on how to add veneers to curved ramps in Revit.
1. Open Revit and draw a curved ramp approximately 2 meters high, as shown in the image.
Next, change the ramp type to solid, as illustrated.
2. Use the built-in volume command and the spline curve tool to draw a circle following the contour along the top of the ramp, as demonstrated.
Note: When selecting the spline tool, choose the option located on the right to draw directly on the face. Try to keep the points on both sides of the slope as symmetrical as possible. After completing one side, exit the spline command before drawing the other side.
3. Draw a contour that extends downward, ensuring it is fully below the bottom edge of the slope.
4. Select both the upper and lower contours to generate a solid shape, as shown.
5. Create a reference plane at the desired elevation. Then, draw a contour on this plane to form a hollow shape, which will be used to cut the previously created solid volume, as illustrated.
6. Use the drag face tool to create a hollow volume, making sure it completely cuts through the bottom of the ramp. Once complete, click to finalize the volume, as shown.
7. Under the Volume and Site tab, select the wall command and pick the volumes on both sides of the ramp, as depicted.
Important: When selecting the volumes, walls may inadvertently be generated inside the ramp. Simply adjust the wall’s positioning line to correct this. This completes the veneer application on the curved ramp.
In summary, this method demonstrates how to use volume modeling to create irregular structures effectively. Mastering this technique can greatly simplify complex modeling tasks.
