Elliptical Glass Cover

[Idlanir91]

Hello everyone, I should realize the three-dimensional model of the elephant house of norman foster a copenaghen on revit (premit I use the 2013 version). the first problem that has been proposed is the realization of the two domes with an elliptical profile, in fact even regular as given by the section of two slightly tilted toroid surfaces.

Since they're the first weapons with revit, do you have any idea how to make such a cover? I have for now imported the dwg of the cover plant on revit and tried to model it through the local mass command and then with the revolve command but with little results since I can only get the volume of an ellipse failing to deform it and adapt it to the silhouette.
I should finish the whole model by this week so I don't have much time available, so I need as soon as possible a help.
I attach you in any case the images of the project so as to have an idea!

a similar cover would be moderately complicated even for those chewing revit throughout the holy day...you took it in the hand "birds" and you only experience from a plant to take out all the model in a poor week? I'm sorry, but you don't need help. You need a miracle. . .

hi, provided that tristan is right to sell, half miracle you find it explained in this class of the autodesk university: "you want to model a what? converting real projects into parametric relationships" event year: autodesk university 2011 class id: ab4700 primary speaker: william lopez field
co-speaker: zach kron
the class addresses exactly the project you refer to. then try to spray the blog of zach kron http://buildz.blogspot.it/ and its channel on youtube that if I don't remember badly had a videotutorial on realization.


Good luck
