Thanks brother. Actually you are a legend. All of your videos are very valuable. Sending love from Sri Lanka❤

[@markusb2743]

You can create this slatted curtain wall by deleting the actual wall behind the slats before you click OK after creating the slats. It works perfectly. Then you can see through the gaps of the slats.

[@OnsomB]

Your a legend mate thanks for all your videos, super clear and helpful

[@enuofuchinedu64]

Very clear n precisely helpful

[@dianaallaham2801]

The issue I have with this method is that the material applied to the slats come out looking very repetitive, and the way around that is by either creating a standard wall with reveals added on to it, that way the material texture is applied to the wall as a whole therefore looking a lot more realistic, or creating a wall based family with voids set to an array parameter cutting the host wall, then loading that family into the project and applying it to a wall whilst making sure the family cuts the wall, again achieving the same visual effect.

[@dan_dan_the_youtube_man]

The problem is there is a maximum amount of mullions that are permitted in a curtain wall type. If I remember correctly it is easier 200 or 2000. This will require in some circumstances several walls. It is also possible to fix the issue at the ends where the spacing between the mullions are not equal. In the curtain wall type settings, there should be buttons that say adjust for mullion size, and if you enable it, it should fix the issue in future curtain wall type placements. However it doesn't affect existing walls of the same type.

[@tamastenhaaff2291]

i just had a typo and had 6mm spacing instead of 60 and the wall still had horziontal slat every 60mm. in total abouy 50k slats , took 10 min to create without any problems

[@sameersalunkhe8922]

Allways love ur tutorials. Thanks man.

[@norbertx7107]

Looks good, now try add curved shape to axis - Z, and then get correct material schedule, where any mullion will be having different height

[@rickdifilippi8645]

Yet another cool & informative video. TY One comment if I may. When editing the rectangular mullion best practice would be to duplicate the type and name it as the wood material. IMHO

[@hibamajbour]

you really covered all ideas thank you for these great videos that you are making

[@naumisjalmari7018]

I wonder if it would be better to do these slat walls as regural walls and just fill in the correct metadata for the type and description etc. Then just give the wall a texture with a cutout so that the wall will look like a slat wall in renders. This way we would have the same information but much less geometry.

[@marcdenheijer606]

You are absolutely right, the method shown here looks nice but is not practical, especially for large buildings. Consider the fact that in floor plan this will show as a black blob on 1:200

[@terrenceacoose8490]

I do this for most slat type things, like wood slatted ceilings. they look pretty good with pbr textures, I think the advantage to individually modeling things is they look more realistic when rendered.

[@trowawayacc]

@@marcdenheijer606 do arch plans in your company include finishes? That in itself seems like a waste and confusing. A finish like slats usually is part of a separate model dedicated to interior design. For large buildings usually you would use enlargement plans on separate sheets and callouts. The scale shoul be enough to tell where everything goes. I agree this level of detail would be best reserved for single apartment remodel. Or a specific zone like lobby. Since its nesesary to inform carpenter of the density of the slat pattern.

[@marcdenheijer606]

@@trowawayacc Yes they do include finishes, why would that be a waste or confusing? Especially finishes >50mm, for us it is essential to have these walls because they align with architectural elements or are integral part of the architectural design e.g. acoustics. It does matter also in floorplan if a wall is just 100mm or 100mm+50mm finish. Note: I'm specifically talking about the architectural finishes, not the finishes the interior designer might draw to embellish certain parts.

Thanks a looot it was what i was looking for

[@danabelle.david4]

In the newer updated version of Revit i.e Revit 2025, the System Panel: Empty does not exist anymore as part of the original template and thus it is not making the slats. Please provide a solution to this

[@enuofuchinedu64]

[@persischegazelle]

i did all the steps according the video . and i tested about 40times , but i had a problem and i got an error , when I wrote 60 mm infront of spacing in vertical grid in layout part , converted automatically to 0.0600 and finally this error Changes have been made that cause a curtain wall with type driven grid lines to exceed the maximum allowed number of type driven lines (200 in direction (1) and 200 in direction (2)). If you really need this many type driven grid lines, please split the affected wall before proceeding./ Could you guide me please ? thanks

[@rammoeini]

How do we do the same if we have slates on the ceiling?

[@PhentomV7]

nice tutorial ;) but what if I want to create a million as a triangle instead of a rectangle??

[@koklu5044]

Can I do the same thing for roofs as well? - like for a cathedral ceiling texture

there is no empty panel in my revit. I cant rid of all the curtain wall glass, anyone help please?

[@kelvinloo8055]

Similarly, I do not have empty system panel in my revit 2020. Read that it has gone missing since 2017 version. Wonder how the author has it in his revit family.

@@kelvinloo8055 I just solved the problem in the 2023 version. You can download one online, then load it into your project, but I think it needs to be loaded every time you create a new project.

Instead of this, go to the model in place and use extrude.😅

great videos but why do you insist on your face in videos? facial expressions are distracting? only negative to your presentations. cheers
