Is it possible to create a sweep using reference planes? (Window Family)

Hello everyone,

I have a question about the possibility in Rhino.Inside.Revit, I’m researching and testing some possibilities, but still nothing.

Basically, I need to create a Revit sweep element, using the grasshopper, in which the sweep path must be aligned to three reference planes: vertical, top and bottom.

Here is an image of what I want in Revit using Grasshopper:

Thank you in advance for your attention!

Hi Caio Borges,

If i understand the question correctly Rhino.Inside.Revit doesn’t have components to make these family parameter associations or work with Revit Sweep commands.

Hi Japhy,

Thank you very much for the clarification. If you don’t mind, I would still like to question some options that I thought of:

  1. Is there any way to override the geometry of a native Revit element?

  2. Is there any component that can generate a solid from two plane geometries?

The idea of option 1 would be to do a scan with simple square geometry, and then rewrite my geometry via Grasshopper.

The idea of option 2 would be to link the geometry base through revit with the two reference planes, and then create a solid shape linking these two geometry bases.

You can override existing family geometry like so

There are several Grasshopper components that can do this, none for Native Revit Elements.

Here is additional information about ways to work in Rhino.Inside.Revit

Thank you very much for your help, I will test it immediately on my project!

And again, congratulations on the amazing work you’re doing in Rhino.Inside.Revit
