Metal Sheet Cladding in Revit Tutorial

[@ngonichimhau8594]

Awesome! Right timing. I'm working on a project with shipping containers right now

[@nicodm6273]

It's incredible the huge range of topics about Revit in your channel !!Many times I was asking "how could I do that?" "is it possible to do this?" Thank you !

[@fabianmarquez3799]

U are the master sensei of the Revit ; Thanks

[@mohammedsayyid5525]

You're always a great tutor to me and a great friend to all that teaches each and every shortcuts in revit

[@peterallen1004]

I’ve done a similar thing with timber boarding but used a nested array family in a curtain panel family….mainly to avoid all the mullion grids you get with an array. It works really well and is easy to cut or swap out for something else. The downside is you need to use masses to cut anything not square.

[@matheusalmeida9336]

It is better to create a family with an array. This way you can count how many sheets you put in the project. Also, you can create a set of parameters that will check the lenght of the wall and divide by the sheet width, giving you the count as well

[@Detteermiig]

Please elaborate, can you link to a tutorial or perhaps a family that you created already? Is it still easy to create openings for windows and attach it to the roof for automatic cuts?

[@alexanderzaex]

I did it with a mullion profile and it went well, thanks for teaching that other method :)

[@TravisVanClieafBIM]

Your content is great! The volume is incredible. This is an example however of overmodelling. Unless you are a cladding subtrade, this should just be a layer in your basic wall assembly. these flutes would only need to be depicted at 1:5 so it's good to know the capabilities of the tools, but like a sage bloke once told me, 'just because you can, doesn't mean you should'. Cheers people, we do BIM in 🇨🇦 too eh!

[@TravisVanClieafBIM]

Apologies...sorry...I should add, if you're working on a little project and you get to make design designs...add these to a basic wall as a sweep and then openings aren't an issue. However, you can only do this for vertically applied cladding, which is the only way it should be used. Sorry...in my humble opinion. 😆

[@AussieBIMGuru]

@@TravisVanClieafBIM that's my take too. No need to apologize haha (I know it's in the friendly nature of canadians to though!)

[@jenskauder9742]

use wall profiles instead. Create a profile Family. Load into project. Wall Profile. new type. use the Profile. Check the cut opening option, and you can even create special profiles for the corners. The only disadvantage is that you will have to copy the Wall Profile multiple times but you can use "Array" for that puropse

[@balkanarchitect]

Hi, yes I explored that option as well, that approach gives you easy openings but is harder to place, because you have to copy the profile and the approach in the video is much quicker to place but takes more time to make openings. I guess everyone has to choose what works better for them 🙂

[@Detteermiig]

Would you use 4 profiles if you want battens, cross battens and board on board?

[@Aerked]

I tried this same method, but with component: extrusions. But his solution seems better, thanks for the video!

[@arshadthesituation]

king of revit!

[@HairyMTB]

if I am not mistaken, if you "join" the wall and cladding the door opening will automatically cut through the cladding.

[@I_kiza_real]

Realy? Are you has been try it?

[@TheCuriousOrbs]

I believe you cannot join disimilar elements. Can only join floor with floor, wall with wall etc...

[@countryman0073]

Thank you so much sir

[@rohidekarmadhav1976]

[@Eng.mohammed.h.f]

Thanks you for your advice

[@malakandhouseplanners8013]

I think a solution for that window fixing problem is that first we make a generic wall and fix window. And after that we select that wall and convert it into our designed wall. A temporary solution

[@andreassandmo1]

How can you convert a generic wall with windows into a curtain wall?

[@arquimanonline6704]

For a visual approach is ok but in a large scale project a think it would be a very time consuming try to deal with the openings issues, in the work we do that whenever we want to show a 3d detail view in sheets but never in the entire buliding not to mention that in the sheets that representation use to look awful in a large scale views mainly

[@TheCuriousOrbs]

That sounds like the way to do it. Create a zoomed in 3D view of a specific corner of the building (maybe entrance) and clad just that small region for the sake of rendering presentation.

[@justwatchin6918]

Danke

[@fancellachingombe9951]

isn't there a plugin for this like in ArchiCad

How is your line thickness so thin.

[@faresjawad3096]

So what's the fun using revit and doing all manual , creating the metal sheets and then modeling the wall behind the cladding , again making openings manual !! Supose u have a huge facade r u going to do it one by one 😟I dont wanna mention any other bim software her , but really is this the right method , i have seen other great method in another software u will just have to select the product from bimobject and then apply it on the " walls " not the opposite . And it will just cut all the openings automatically .

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Usually we just use surface material on an equivalent layer thickness with a good texture map. Modelling corrugation is a waste of time and pc memory.

[@faresjawad3096]

@@AussieBIMGuru u dont have to model it in Archicad for example u just apply it from bimobject website with a proper thickness and cuts all openings no waste of PC memory .

[@AussieBIMGuru]

@@faresjawad3096 it's a waste of memory for the PC to have to render the shadows and detail. If people want to do it that's fine but I don't see the point unless it's super small project scale.

[@faresjawad3096]

@@AussieBIMGuru I think it will help u in archtecural coordination the thickness of the cladding might hit a drainage pipe and if u put just a texture u wont feel it or c it .

[@AussieBIMGuru]

@@faresjawad3096 but if you make the layer the same depth you would. I only think it matters if the corrugation has a design intent, e.g. running pipes between a wide sheeting tray.

Hi I cant make the wall attached to the roof. Need some help.

[@PimIkink]

Hi BalkanArchitect, thanks for this video. I have a question, I encounter a problem if I want to edit the profile of the curtain wall in which I have added the Corrugated Steel Profile, only it won't accept diagonal lines. For instance, I want to fill the side of a wall wich a pitched roof and I want the curtain wall to follow the shape. Is there a solution to this? Many thanks in advance!

[@backtojupiter]

Ist it possible top cut the last segment?

[@alantemling8862]

Good video as all your video's are, but following your instructions I get many issues with the wall cladding. I am using manufacturers Revit profiles which are basically the same 2D profiles you create then I extrude them per your video but the curtain walls end up with many issues. Too many grid lines along the wall length, can't make panel so replaces it with system panel, height of wall ends up much higher than the building, won't cut properly.....the list goes on.

[@pidlino-tn8yy]

I tried but doesn’t work there are spaces between the elements. Can you help me ?

[@Guilherme-kc1jb]

[@tashriquekarriem8865]

[@zuhaltarak]

@@justinvanzyl8175 did any of you fix this issue? :)

[@hermannalantemling1739]

Thanks for your video it was very helpful. I was wondering if you could help resolve the issue of angled walls where the sheeting disappears as Revit cannot resolve the roof slope? In other words the top of the profile (cladding) is horizontal and cannot follow the slope of the roof so Revit replaces it with a standard "solid panel".

[@CesarRamirez-te3sr]

So i wanna do the same but on top i needed to be attached to a roof that has a slope. And when i do the attach it replaces the panel with empty or glazed ones. Anyone knows how can i avoid that from happening?

[@enmanuelespinal1993]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZDHe4mvgJ1kgNE

[@alexisvonhardenberg8803]

You can cut any shape you need with a solid in place family and then hide the cut shape in your views or give it a visibility parameter that you can turn on off. however you will need to cut each panel individually.

[@FliesEyes]

I noticed the offset size was 3.0mm. Is this to avoid the 0.75mm minimum length limitation in Revit?

[@anandhakrishnan1826]

There was an error occur when applied to non rectangular roofs. Is there any solution..?

[@tj3981]

Cool

[@lauracrisan6834]

Hi! Your video is extremely helpful so thanks for sharing. Also, I'm trying to apply your method to sheet piles, yet the last element is overlapping. The fixed distance is 1200mm and when the wall length is not a multiple of 1200, this overlapping is happening. I've tried different ways to try and work around this and nothing seems to work. Your suggestion would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

[@hagentrondheim3675]

Can you do it also with sweeps or reveals?

[@mercedesmuino4214]

Hi! Great tutorial! is there a way to make the panel horizontally? Thank you!!

[@andyl1042]

if you want walls with horizontal profiles you can do that in the standard Wall Family editor - this may be useful kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXnVY3R6rNeXqtk

[@compadrelucas]

for horizontal you can use a profile to be swept on the wall when you make a wall type. although, it is excessively heavy on geometry and should not be used on bigger models

[@yousefjarwan4535]

HELLO, I TRIED THIS FAMILY AND WORKING WILL, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT IF I WANT TO MODIFY THE PROFIL TO BE INCLIN FOR INSTANCE OR AD SOME OPENING FOR THE WALL THEN THE FAMILY CORRUPTED AND FAILED TO LOAD THE PROFILE. CAN WE FIX THIS

Thanks!!

I'm having a similar problem as well. Are there settings in the exterior glazings or save file paths that I need to follow? EDIT: I checked the instructions from 5:50. So I needed to lock the extrusion edges to both the top and bottom reference lines to resolve the "Can't make type Metal Sheet Cladding Profile". Would that answer your question?

Wouldn't it be easier to just find a corrugated steel texture on Google, make a new material, and insert that material as the new finish for the wall? That's what I did. It took like 6-7 minutes, and you keep that wall forever in your template. It will also work great with openings/doors/windows/etc.

Yes but in floor plan view you will not have accurate representation and renderings will look much less realistic 🙂
