Looking for ways to create spline based walls

[Intuos]

I’m looking to create walls from spline curves and have considered several options in the absence of spline support in the Add Wall (Curve):

1. Direct shapes
   - Downside is limited editability in Revit, so I can’t really make small tweaks as I go.

2. Convert the splines to polylines and use those to create the walls
   - Downside is that any connected walls cannot be moved easily in Revit after the fact
   → (need to unjoin/ rejoin and trim/ extend)
   

3. Create a conceptual mass with extrusion surfaces
   - This, in theory should allow me to create walls by faces
   → However, for some reason, I can not create the Conceptual Mass
   

   

Using conceptual massing tools in Revit, it is easy to create a spilne based extrusion.

These surfaces can be turned into walls through wall by face:

This makes me wonder what I am doing wrong in the RiR approach below.
SplineWall_Conceptual mass.gh (12.2 KB)
Test-Splinebox.3dm (66.2 KB)

E: Seems like Revit doesn’t accept direct shapes for its wall by face tool.

Correct,

Try using a Generic Model family instead.

Nice, that’s what I was looking for. Are there components to add the wall by face through GH as well? It does not look like it’s possible, but I might be mistaken.

It is a feature request, there are a couple scripted components on the forum.

Wall by Face from mass generated in Rhino

I’ve created geometry in Rhino that I then pushed to Revit as a mass. Using either the Bake Selected (Mass category) or the AddDirectShape.ByGeometry (Mass category) works just fine insofar as the geometry successfully bakes in the Revit environment. However, I cannot create a wall by face on the mass; the mass just cannot be clicked on. Any suggestions?

@Japhy any update on wall from spline ?
