This Revit tutorial will show you how to create perforated brick screens & walls in Revit the quick and easy way. This parametric wall will let you change brick dimensions and overlapping/overhanging amount to achieve multiple different layouts. The method works well for both straight and curved walls.

[@toanmyle3338]

Hi! Thank you so much for this tutorial sir! Do you know if there is a way for us to rotate each individual brick column on that panel at a certain angle? I want to create a facade where the brick started out normal and then the bricks as it go on, they rotate outwards gradually

[@RVBoost]

You're welcome! What you want to do is possible but will need a different method (using adaptive components). I've done something similar here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4LQd6B3e9R_obc but of course, you'll need to make some adaptations for rotating bricks.

[@EdwinMedina147]

I have a problem. When I have already transformed the wall with the type of bricks, the wall is built with the brick below with twice the size of height generating a small brick and a larger one, how to solve it?

[@RVBoost]

Sorry about that. Sounds like a constraint is missing from the family. You may want to follow the tutorial again :)

[@kuldeeps3830]

How to make zig zag perforated brickscreen? Any tips plz.

[@RVBoost]

Sounds interesting! Could you send a photo of what it should look like?

[@kuldeeps3830]

@@RVBoost kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioGVY6ahiqyresk Front facade is made with design. Could plz guide me and say how should I proceed?

[@aplsharusha]

Great video! But to make it more realistic you could have added some mortar between the bricks!

[@RVBoost]

Cool idea! I didn't need mortar at the level of detail I was modelling for, but you can certainly add it :)

[@nancytos9424]

How would you add Mortar?

[@RVBoost]

We'll need to edit the family slightly to add mortar joins. I'll do a quick tutorial soon :)

[@pratyushgolchha8941]

Thats quite a simple procedure, thanks for that. While changing the value of the overhang, a brick's length changes as well. How can we avoid that? Would setting up an offset parameter from one brick to the other and another parameter for brick's length help? this way one could avoid overhang parameter.

[@RVBoost]

Thanks for proposing another method. Sounds intersting. Have you tried it? Regarding the undesired change in brick length, you can edit the curtain wall's layout rule to fix it. It should work once you have a particular set of numbers for grid spacings and the overhang.

[@pratyushgolchha8941]

@@RVBoost Hey, yeah, I did try that method. It works fine. Now I'm trying to make different panel families with various combinations, like 3 bricks which give zigzag or '+' shaped voids. Thank you for your video, it helped me to understand the concept perfectly. 😇

[@RVBoost]

Excellent! Glad you liked the tutorial 😊 Feel free to share here the result for other brick combinations if you like!

[@martinprieto9713]

Great tutorial, just one question though. Is there any way to have these bricks adapt to different shapes in elevation? Revit seems to delete the bricks that don't fit and replace them with glass panels. Thanks.

[@RVBoost]

Unfortunately, Revit can only place a custom panel family like this one into rectangular grid cells. You'll need to make sure that's the case. :(

[@RVBoost]

For non-rectangular cells, you'll instead need to use massing and adaptive curtain panels. I have several other tutorials on this channel on this technique, so feel free to look them up!

[@fvargas3089]

Like the tutorial ,how do we make the yarn of bricks at the top continuous

[@RVBoost]

The easiest is to make a solid wall with a 2d brick surface pattern, unless you also need 3d bricks for this continous section?

[@fvargas3089]

RV Boost yes continuos brick on the top on the 3d

[@RVBoost]

Then simply create a new curtain wall type with solid panels of the same size of your brick, and place it on top of this wall.

[@Raj_put_in]

Does it affect strength ?

[@RVBoost]

Probably. I'm not an engineer though so can't confirm ;)

[@nancytos9424]

Anyone has any idea how could I add Mortar in between the bricks? Great tutorial btw, tnx so much ;)

[@RVBoost]

We'll need to edit the family slightly to add mortar joins. I'll do a quick tutorial soon :)

[@niantode]

Would be better to have more voice over volume. Other than that, all is great! Thanks for this

[@RVBoost]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to improve the audio in future videos 😊

[@sunidhii_10]

I followed the tutorial but in the end when I try to chose the curtain panel in the options, it shows an error saying 'Type's parameter cannot recursively point to the type itself.' Please tell me what am I doing wrong.

[@RVBoost]

Sounds like you tried to select the curtain wall family in that step. That won't work. Make sure to select the curtain wall panel family instead.

[@adisadis1221]

right, in the type properties of the curtain wall, where you select the Panel - make sure to select the modeled family (Brick panel) and not some curtail wall

[@sunidhii_10]

It worked. Thanks a lot!

[@arcsw]

what about upper two raws of bricks, they are thinner than others.

[@RVBoost]

Can you send a photo of what you need?

[@arcsw]

@@RVBoost i was thinking why this happened.

[@RVBoost]

Oh I see. They are thinner because the grid spacing there is smaller than the rest. You should change your wall height to fit them better, or change its grid spacing ;)

[@archikim3803]

Can we put parameter on brick length and Height?

[@RVBoost]

Yes, both are showed in the tutorial.
