calebabudu Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hello. Now that revit 2009 is out. Is there any1 out there that knows if its possible to create data for shop drawings for the likes of Gherys' bilbao titanium skin facade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Buckley Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 couldn't you have created that anyway using the massing functions???? or even design in sketchup and bring into revit as a massing object where you can then add walls, floors, curtain systems etc, custom walls with custom materials etc. anything is possible if you know how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 He's not talking about massing, he's talking about shop drawings for the panels. You know that architects don't have to make shop drawings?... But anyway. Create them automatically? I very strongly doubt it. You'd need something like Digital Project (the Gehry software). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebabudu Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 i know about massing, but once u've come up with the complex shapes, is it possible to produce the necessary shop drawings for production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odouble Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 First thought is that you probably have to do something like that in Revit Structure and not Revit Architecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdos00 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I have read a lot of articles about being able to send directly to CAD/CAM from Rhino, but not Revit. I am sure we will eventually get there with that program (and the rest of the "BIM" software, but it is going to be a while!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antisthenes Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 yes import from Rhinoceros i have done it quite a few times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Rhino would also not be the right tool for the job unless you are a brilliant script writer. All due respect, Jonas, but I very strongly doubt you've done this. We're talking about thousands of metal panels, all different, with the hardware for mounting them and the structure that supports that. Each dimensioned and at a precision where you can get a shop to fabricate not a model of the building but the actual building. All of this is constrained by lord knows how many variables. The parts aren't modelled, they're defined parametrically and computed, and the casual user is not going to be able to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooner04 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Andrew, Don't be such a pessimist. I bet if someone tried real hard they could build it out of popsicle sticks. Scan it with a 3d desktop scanner into sketchup. Take that 3d info into archicad on a linux workstation and then generate the shop drawings form there. After that they could go polish the new york city sewer system using a toothbrush and an old pair of undies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard McCarthy Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 You could also try using massing to curtain wall conversion method. Then adjust the glazing panel family to suite. The problem ofcourse is to laid out individual panels and the brackets or fixings that fix it in place. Techically, I think it is doable, if you can somehow make those panels family as "scheduable" in Revit. It would definitely a nightmare to do it by hand panel by panel, but I think a bit of creative thinking using UV unwrapping programs to "laid" out the curtain wall form flat, then draft in the details of each panels is the method I would go for.

kris McIsaac Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think if it was easy Ghery would be using the software himself and not getting M.I.T. super nerds to write complex formulas in customised aeronautical design software. On a side note I was told they model anything over 20mm in diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
