Hi,
I want to transfer the panels modeled in Rhino as separate panels at once. But it is transmitted as a single family. Since my Revit family knowledge is limited, I couldn’t find out where the problem originated from.
The reason I want to transfer them as separate objects is to assign different parameter information.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hesro,
You are creating a single family (one name) of 13 breps and placing it once, please look at how list and tree structures work in Grasshopper.
There are many ways to approach this, which one is optimal depends on your workflow requirements.
One way is to graft your Breps and place as Add Geometry Direct Shapes.
If you need need a single family you will need to Create in Revit and change the sizes via parameter.
If you want multiple families you would need 13 names and 13 locations for your breps.
Feel free to ask questions, but do note that it’s the weekend and responses won’t be immediate.
See this example below.
Thank you very much for your answer. I will review the video you shared. If I still have a problem, I’ll write.
Hi Japhy,
I was able to take my work to an advanced level, thank you once again for that. But I’m facing a different problem right now. The families I transferred to Revit do not appear in the plan views. Can you help me once again?

Hi Hesro,
Generally, when you create these families the geometry needs to be transformed to the Rhino 0,0,0 so that the creation in Revit is near the family origin. In your case the geometry is so far from the family origin it’s failing to be considered in the view cut plan (or something like that).
You are on the right track. Modeling the slanted curtain wall in Rhino and using Revit as the documentation is the way to go.
If you want to upload the Rhino portion of of your example model as well I can be of better help.
Hello again Japhy,
I am very grateful for your help. My 3d model file and script are below.

Thanks, I’ll dive into this and get you an example tomorrow.
Question.
Are you going to sending these to fabrication as well? Such as Curtain wall mullions, with custom holes sent to .step files, assembled with the custom glazing.
Hi,
I’m looking forward to your solution.
As for the question you asked, the fabrication is finished. The purpose of creating a Revit model is to coordinate with other contractors.
hesro,
Please see the Definition and support files attached.
These require Elefront Plugin and were done in Revit 2022 (2022 not required, you will need to make the correct family template file anyways)
Essentially all i did was create a block out of the geometry with the same insertion point as a temp curtain wall in Revit. The families were created from geometry at 0,0 and placed at the temp curtain wall panel locations (which correspond with your geometry locations)

Hello Japhy,
I’ve been a little busy these days, so I didn’t review the solution you found. I really appreciate your time. But this method seemed a little long to me.
Anyway, as you can see below, I set the center point of the block to the center of the panel, when I transfer it to revit, the pin point still goes to a far point.
I think we can reach the result with a few edits through this script.
Yes, My solution was a little extended in an effort to create a GH solution that defined blocks/families from the existing with the proper base points.
