Creating Walls from Revit Model and Offset from Joined Curves

Rhino.Inside Revit

Hello all,

I’ve been trying an algorythim in order to model walls from revit model lines, created from a DWG file of said lines.

This workflow is meant to create seperate walls for each type of material instead of creating a single composite wall.

What i am trying to do is to create offset lines from the main construction lines of the wall.

in trying this I’ve come upon a strange difficulty that i need some help on.

Because I want to work with a continuous line, I used the Join Curve component in grasshopper, but in doing so, the walls are not created. If I don´t join the curves, then the wall wont join in Revit.

Have any of you encountered the same issue?

In the image above, the wall work, but the offset does not join them

As you can see here, joining and offsetting doenst even create the wall.

There is the algorythim.

Thank you all in advance!

For the wall component in revit you need to provide exploded segments not polylines/curves… so you should join the curves > offset accroding to your dimensions > explode > create revit wall

Once you do that while allowing joins in the revit component, some walls might not be joined properly at corners when using location line by finish faces, so it’s better to use wall centerline which should resolve coner joins in revit
