I am really struggling to get the geometry from the curtain walls or these types of elements. That is, I get the geometry like you can see below, but I just want to merge all the geometry of the curtain wall (or similar kind of object) into one geometry that represents the wall. The picture below shows the geometry I am trying to get, but it seems hard to merge. Ideally the geometry is as close to the individual panels, but a bounding box might also be okay if that is not possible. I was wondering if I am missing some geometry from the wall, and that is why I cant seem to join the breps.
Anyway, if you happen to know how to do it I would appreciate if you leave a comment.
You’re getting multiple Breps because curtain walls in Revit are made up of dependent elements, not a single continuous wall like standard system walls.
Each curtain wall consists of panels, mullions, and grids, and Revit stores these as separate elements. When you extract geometry through Rhino.Inside.Revit, it returns each of these parts individually, that’s why you see multiple Breps instead of one.
In case you are not getting all the parts check the following post:
If you need a single geometry that represents the wall
Convert to Mesh and use Mesh Join to combine them visually.
Thanks Muhammad, I was missing the Mesh join, that worked. Seems like I cant go directly from that to brep though, but ut seems to work if you make a Subd first and then brep, or bounding box first. Depends on how detailed I need the geometry to be in the end, but for now that is good enough. Thanks!
