curtain walls

Please cast your votes in our two ongoing feedback polls here and here!

    Hello,

    how can I avoid texture repetition when using revit curtain walls?

    The textures are repeated in the same position for each mullion

    Here an example of what i'm talking about

    Thanks

    I hope that helps - let me know in case something is unclear or in case any further questions arise.

    Thanks for your kind reply, but the problem is not the texture. The point is that Enscape considers every mullion of a curtain wall as a single object. Therefore it maps it in the exact same way creating that repetition effect.

    If i create the same facade with a cast in place technique (solids, subtractions, ecc..) the problem is solved.


    Thanks

    That's because that's not the same as working with a CWP, so yes, whilst the texture will run across a face of an in-place, as Phil explains, it's how Revit's handles the UV material grid on alike items.


    You could (if seamless texture techniques don't work out for you) "juggle" the material assignments with an "inset" scripting workflow (ala Dynamo) but you'd have to ask yourself is it worth it...

    I had the same problem before, but I fixed it by creating a cutout pattern and applying that to the material.


    Try the following; Don't draw the wall as a curtain wall but as a basic wall. Give the wall the wooden material.

    Create a cutout pattern and setup the cutout function in the material settings.


    thanks, i am currently using tricks like cutout or i simply remodel the geometry but it's time comsuming and annoiyng not to be able to use a model already done.

    I'll try with dynamo. it seems a good idea
