To build this model , the major challenge for me is how create the curve
roof and floor. It is very hard to create the complex curved surface. I tried
different ways in surface:divided the surface into three separate curve, and use
a series of curve at parallel reference plane. However, these ways cannot
create a precise curve. Then I found that curve is formed by contours. But the
surface created by topography tools cannot be edited as mass or created to a
roof , or surface cannot be created by contours in the conceptual mass. In this
case, I use rhino to finish my conceptual mass. I use AutoCAD, Rhino and Revit
in my project.
Trial 1 - Parallel reference plan in Revit
drawing curves on parallel reference plans and make a form.
I can only define limited number of lines and cannot create a very precise curve.
Trial 2 contours
use topography tool in revit
It can create a surface but that cannot edit in mass or project.
Trail 3
In conceptual mass, I insert autocad files and align contours to different levels base on their elevation.
try to create forms
It failed because there are more than one lines on a reference plan.
Trial 4
mesh geometry cannot used to compute mass floor, so I use roof instead of it.
