arch with exposed bricks

[cesco]

Hello, everyone. .
I wanted to ask how you can create a bow with the bricks face view that follows the development of the arch.
classic arch located on rural buildings to understand
Thank you.

I did it using a circular matrix, creating a first brick to the tax and repeating it n times. If you can calculate the "worked" angle from each brick in the arc you can be more precise. Surely there will be a more correct method for execution, but I have not come to mind others.

Sorry, but I have the same problem, I tried in every way but I can't fix it. some good soul that is not yet in vacation can give any suggestions?
Thank you in advance. ;o)

on the prospectus view draws a solid (extrusion) with the size of the brick, to which it also checks a parameters of material.
duplicate the brick, along the opening arch with a circular matrix

abundatiam.. .you could put some parameters in a family of generic elements hosted by the wall, or put the bow directly into the family so as to test everything in the outside environment to the project.
Too many models locally risk losing time if you need to reuse them somewhere else.

1-wall-based generic model... I would create the parametric hole that creates the arch.
2- generic model... create brick geometry.
also this parameter so you can have different sizes. before nidifying the geometry of the brick in the family arc into categories and family parameters tick based on the work plane, so you can place it on the surface of the wall.
3-procede as suggested by gfrank to duplicate the brick family.

In this way the arc is reusable and I believe even lighter in the economy of the project file.

thanks guys you are really trooooooooooppo kind. But nobody goes on vacation? ? ?
but I try with families are a little quarrel and hard to understand.

thinking about doing what you like I attach this link, very but very interesting and useful for arch with bricks.http://cad-notes.com/2010/02/revit-family-exercise-creating-brick-soldiers/and...good fun;o)
