Curtain Systems on NURB Surfaces

You can create curtain systems on NURB (Non-Uniform Rational B-spline) surfaces in generic model families or mass families. When creating a generic model or mass family, you can import a DWG or SAT file containing NURB surfaces. (See Importing Massing Studies from Other Applications.) After saving the family, use the Curtain System by Face tool to place a curtain system on the NURB surfaces. See Creating Walls from Mass Faces.

Note: Use open geometry in generic model families rather than mass families. This applies to isolated NURB surfaces, as shown above, as well as other open geometry. For optimal performance in a mass instance, use only geometry that can be recognized by Revit as oriented 3D geometry. Open geometry in a mass instance can slow processing and generate warnings, but it will provide no additional capabilities beyond those available in the generic model family.
