Hi Guys,
I am wondering if someone have developed a script in cutting a section along the curve line
and create an unfold developed elevation?
cheers,
Hey @Joel_Ocampo ,
Check below for creating sections along a curve using RiR…

Thanks Mohamed looks promising! I will have a look, thank you.
Hi Mohamed,
Can this be updated? cheers
If you update the wall curvature you would need to delete the previous views and rerun.

Hi Japhy,
It looks like it works in a concept or optioneering phase but not in higher design phase wherein drawing documentation is pretty much involved like tagging, anno, etc.
But still good to have it rather than doing it manually

Hi @M.Tarabishy I am not able to load this particular one node. Can you please help me out for this ? Actually I have tried to installed the plugin but I am getting as not found.
Thanks in advance
Hay Thanks a lot @Japhy. I really appriciate for your time. It worked for me.

Hi @Joel_Ocampo and @M.Tarabishy,
If you just need a single Drafting View out of the section you can start with something like this.

Hi Kike,
This is cool! my only comment is how can you get all the elements like door and window being added to the unrolled elevation not just the wall outline? and if something have change from the model, will this be updated or you have to create another elevation to replace the first generated elevation?
Thank you.
Have in mind that this is producing a pure section, there is no projection here.
So since windows and doors do not pass through the wall axis surface those elements would not produce geometry anyway with this definition.
This is just a sample of what you can do.
To make it ready for production it needs much more work.
This generates a regular Revit Drafting View not an Elevation.
Every time you want the Drafting View to be updated you will need to run this definition again, but it will update the existing one instead of creating a new one.

Hi Kike,
Any idea on how can l add those elements?
This will be useful in elevation and documentation.
Thank you.
You can add the elements by adding their geometry to the Brep A in the Brep Intersect component in Kike’s image/definition, but again as mentioned by Kike the geometry will not appear unless it is intersecting with the Brep B (wall surface), since their is no projections.
Since this is a detail view not a section view, you will just need to rerun the script once any changes happen to the geometry to update the detail view.
Only down side I see is with this method is tagging, since the original use case for my side was tagging the structural framing in complex buildings in elevation view with vertical dimensions and any horizontal dimensions would show in plan only.
So both methods provide solutions for different uses.
But @kike solution actually opened some ideas for usage with landscape site objects.

Hi, I am trying to make the elevation of a circular building using this method but I cannot as the script gives me various errors which I cannot resolve. Would anyone be able to help me?
