To add intelligence to your geometry, add parameters.
You can now write a formula for Panel_Thickness such as: = Actual_Span / 20
Turn on the surface nodes by opening the dialog and checking Nodes .
Relax constraints; ensure 3D snapping was active when drawing reference lines.
: They can even be used to perform real-time wood shear wall calculations by incorporating reporting parameters.
In the properties of the divided surface, click the dropdown under "Component" to select your new adaptive family.
An Adaptive Family is a specialized Revit family type that allows points (called Adaptive Points ) to be placed and adjusted after the component is loaded into a project. Unlike standard families, adaptive components can change shape based on the placement of these points, making them ideal for:
Too many adaptive points can slow down Revit drastically.
Nested components (optional)
Adaptive components are designed to deploy across vast curtain walls or geometric massing patterns.
