Making a Seamless Sphere in Revit

26 February 2013 · Luke Johnson

Make a rectangular extrusion form
Make a revolve form using funny looking profile shown above – switch to void
Cut geometry, and then adjust grips as necessary to make it look nice

(dissolve it if you want to see how it works)

In response to:

Oh, why is it impossible to make seamless spheres in the #Revit conceptual massing environment? Why?! Time for beer.

Amazing. I have downloaded and will try myself to create it same like this or to make changes to make it perfect..

The issue seems to come when you want to apply a divided surface to it. It doesn't seem as if using voids to carve up shapes works for curtain paterns :(

The form is brilliant. Old school modeling! Build more and take away what you don't need. The curtain pattern issue really chaps my hide. TG for the 2013 repeat tool.
