You can create curtain systems on NURB (Non-Uniform Rational B-spline) surfaces in generic model families or mass families. Generic model families are recommended for polymesh geometry, because mass families cannot extract volumetric information from polymeshes.īuilding Maker is a set of tools that draws a closer association between massing studies and building elements.

Polymeshes: You can import polymesh objects from various file types.

Imported solids: To create elements from faces of imported solids, they must be imported into the conceptual design environment while you are creating a mass family, or into the Family Editor while you are creating a generic model.

Walls, roofs, and curtain systems can be made from faces in a generic model family. Generic models: Use generic models if you must create a unique, unusual shape but do not need to model the entire building abstractly.You can update the element to adjust to the current size and shape of the mass face. Building elements created with Building Maker tools do not automatically update when the mass face changes. To create building elements from mass instances, use Building Maker tools.

Abstract models: Use mass instances when you want to model a building abstractly, or if you want to schedule gross volume, gross surface area, and gross floor area.An in-place mass (left) converted to building elements (right)
