Rhino Inside Adaptive Family Idea

Guys, I need to make a family like in the picture

upper part of it is parallel to the surface bottom part is parallel to the z axis of rhino.

i did some quick sketch to show you guys. Is there way i can do this in revit (with families), maybe with rhino inside ?

Hi gurkan,

Is the grey geometry always going to be planar? (in this case triangular so = yes) Is this always going to be a Rhino Object or is that coming from Revit as well?

How are the end conditions handled? (what determines the length)

What category are these elements?

A line based family with an angular parameter seems ideal.

fyi, i changed the forum category to Rhino.inside.Revit, there are a number of Rhino.Inside.*'s

Something like this…

The Roof has 4 different slopes, we use the SlopeAngle to change a Instance parameter of the Line Based Family.

That’s what I was asking for, thanks. I did think of that too but at the corners there is gonna be intersections. Anything I can do about that? Because of the parallel the z axis stuff I can’t solve it with one line I think. Btw I didn’t realize they added full black theme to revit, thanks for that as well :))

I have similer corner cutting problem in another subject as well,

I need to place some panels inside of a some kind of a walkway (In Revit) and corners of this panels are sticking out. I thought of voids but there are a lot of this panels
(probably more than thousand) no way I can do this manually.

Is there a way to automatically add specific voids inside of specific elements. I have reference surfaces in rhino. If there is easier way to do it I am okay with it too.

A lot of ways to handle this. The formulation of a successful workflow will depend on your inputs-outputs.

What is the goal?

A great way to deal with unique conditions is use direct shapes.

Voids are an option as well.

I think I can do it pyscript you send me in the last link. Thanks a lot. :smiley:

I’m currently working on this solution, but I need to be able to control these parameters using instances:

Whenever I try to change the angle of the bottom part, it gives me an error. Any ideas on what might be causing this problem?

Here’s how i did it. I constrained the sketch like so…

With the roof angle set to a reference plane

Here’s the family (Revit 2024)

Thank you. I can’t enter negative angle instance parameters in mine, and your file isn’t compatible with my revit 22. Can you please try it on your end?

no issues with a negative value.

When i get a minute i’ll make a R22 version if you haven’t sorted it out.
