tilt the continuous helical facades

[gio.max]

here is the question, in the case of a perfectly flat facade, you can give the desired inclination to the grid, creating the effect you want.
if instead we have to deal with a surface no longer plan, but "unscrew", the option to tilt the grid of the mounts is no longer selectable (see attachments).

is it possible to solve this otherwise in revit 2010?

use the conceptual masses, you want things you can do.. .

I used the masses to create the surface of the second figure, and then the command "continuous facade systems" from "earth".
If I do this on the flat surface, I have enabled the option that allows me to choose the inclination of the grid lines (figure 1), but in the case of surface not plan, this item disappears from the properties (figure 2).

I don't think my problem is to use the masses (but given my poor experience I might even be wrong), rather I don't think I understand/know how to "drawn" the 45° mountaineering lines on these surfaces.

you may try not to use the continuous facade system command but to apply a pattern (romboid with the appropriate modifications should work) and create a panel family starting from the model based on continuous metric f. panel pattern.

you can try, but in this way you lose the transparency of the glass (because the "motive" would be a texture), and this I don't know how much it would benefit to make the interior.

but in this way we lose the transparency of the glass (because the "motive" would be a texture), and this I do not know how much it would benefit from the rendering of the interior.

this is overtaken by applying the glass material to the filling of the motif...see figure, the problem if ever it is that by erasing or extinguishing the mass the created component goes also:...so I don't know in a project that must arrive until the interior rendering if you can be useful.... .
