Perforated Facade in Revit : 2 Methods Using Parametric Nested Families

Welcome to SuperUser channel.
This tutorial will show you how to create perforated facade patterns in Revit using parametric nested families. In this video, I will recreate a modular pattern that was designed using standard bricks sizes.
There are multiple ways to create façade patterns in Revit that is why analyzing the pattern design is very important in deciding which modeling technique to follow.
In this tutorial, I will explain two methods to achieve the same final result but each technique has its own strength and weaknesses, and at the end of the video I will explain the differences between the two methods and when to use each one.
The video timeline is:
00:50 Column Family with a Nested Generic Family
07:53 System Curtain Wall with Nested Curtain Wall Panel & Generic Families
10:31 The Comparison between the two methods
Enjoy watching and if you like to see more related videos please subscribe to the channel.

    I agree with you, both meyhods are interesting and should be used accordingly to the wanted result. I have to say though that the curtain panel one is less heavy and responds way faster than the other one. That's normal since it is a system family. Thus i would probably advice to use the curtain one in priority. Fully explained and precise. Very good tuto.

    Thanks Le Ben! I am glad you liked the video. True, the Column family is heavier and can slow the model, though I would suggest modeling it in a separate file and only link it to the main model. But I agree, if you can achieve the result you need with the curtain wall method, it should be a priority.

    I have tried the second method, but there is a problem when I add a door on the wall. The edges of the opening become messy. Some of the pattern types have to be replaced with panels.

    This is helpful, but why did you choose to nest it into a column family ?

    Thanks Rami, the Column Family has built-in parameters for the top & base levels, which will give us more flexibility will modeling these walls. Other stand-alone families, like the Generic Family, have only base constrains which means that we need to define new parameters for the wall total height and its offset.

    @@superuserforarchitects2132 Oh, i see. On another note, im currently working with a project that is all brick cladding and im trying to wrap my head around the family, which im still not sure how to figure out. What if i have conditions where that family is adjacent to another, what the best way to join the brick ending? I was trying the curtain wallgeneric model one, and specifying instant parameters that allow me to extend the last brick and a visibility parameter to hide the mortar at the end, but there has to be a better way for this.and is it possible to cut a a column family? i tried to check the cut with void box but didnt work.

    @@ramisabbagh7539 Building a single family that can fit any situation is quite a hustle in Revit, so if I were you I would build another family specifically for the corners and then connect it with the old one. Normally you should be able to cut voids in shapes built inside the family environment, but if you trying to cut a nested family then it is not quite possible and you need to look for an alternative. You can download both families from the link in the description box, hope it makes your Revit experience easier :)

    I think we should just draft the bricks in 2D,just use a hatch pattern. otherwise the model became very big

    Totally waste of time if u tried first method because in the end you can't make array vertically due to reporting paramater ,there is error comes
