Align points and solids with surface

[jorge.vieira]

Hi there,

I Imported a surface from revit and i am trying to make a running brick wall.

I managed to get the points in the location i need, but the when i translate points and place cuboids they do not align with the surface.

Can someone help?

@jorge.vieira You’ll need to post the Revit file too

Sorry about that.

Thank you so much for your help Vikram.

The Cuboids aligned nicely, but the geometry translate is still not on the surface.

Is there a way to translate using the surface as a coordinate system?

Many thanks

@jorge.vieira I suppose this should be alright

Hello Vikram!
I tried this on my Wall (I have a Wall that is curve both in plan anda elevation). It align perfectly with my surface. However, the geometry of bricks set does’t work.

Am I doing something wrong?

thank you

Brick Wall by Dynamo

Hello! I have a Wall on Revit, it’s curve both in elevation and plan. So, i would like to repeat a brick set in this Wall using Dynamo. I saw a tutorial that helped me to repeat a brick set through a line/curve in Revit. From this, I established any height and the bricks adapted to this line (using “Curve Coordinates”). However, I can’t get a curve in elevation of the Wall, since this method only can divide equally the bricks by the Wall/curve!!! there is a way to repeat the bricks importing m…

Hello, I would like to create a brick facade which curves in plan and section. The Wall grid with bricks above was very helpful as starting point. I would like the bricks to not ‘warp’ though, so that the orthogonal geometry creates a stepping texture across the warped host plane. I assume this is the appropriate thread, I can include an image to help illustrate what I’m looking for if need be, thanks in advance for any help!
