RTC Europe - Fractal Fun with Revit Repeaters and Adaptive Components

On 27th September 2013 I will be presenting at the Revit Technology Conference in Delft in the Netherlands.

The topic of my presentation will be:
"Fractal Fun with Revit Repeaters and Adaptive Components" - this will be a new, improved version of the presentations that I gave at RTC in Auckland and Vancouver earlier this year.  Yes, RTC is so good that I'll be attending at all three venues this year.


As part of the presentation, all being well, I intend to give a live demonstration of how to build a fully parametric Revit model of the roof structure shown below - within about 30 minutes.  This is the Gare do Oriente in lisbon, designed by Santiago Calatrava.

Based on feedback I received from RTC in Vancouver, I have updated the handouts to reflect changes made to the modeling process that I will demonstrate.  For anyone who downloaded my presentation from the earlier RTC events, you might like to get an udated version from RTC Europe.

Gare do Oriente, Lisbon by Santiago Calatrava

Every single Revit Technology Conference has been really fantastic, and I have learned new things every time - usually they have saved me more time than the hours I spent there.  I have been able to go back to the office and quickly solve problems that have had me stumped before, or implement new techniques.

  1. Did you see that Autodesk is a Gold Sponsor of RTC Europe, and an exhibitor as well? Not sure who we are sending from our European group, or who might be making the trek from the Factory in Waltham, but Autodesk will be a part of the RTC Europe in Delft.

  2. Thank you for proving me wrong Scott! I guess I should have checked my facts before posting - last time that I checked there was no sign of Autodesk on the sponsor list. I know that you have been a stalwart supporter of RTC, and we users have been very happy to see you there representing Autodesk.

  3. Scott, I was so happy to see that Autodesk are gold sponsors of RTC Europe that I have removed my comments about Autodesk support from the post

  4. RevitCat, I am doing a project now on this structure for faculty. I am very interested in the demonstration of how to build a fully parametric model of the roof structure. Is there a possibility to download it somewhere or can you give some hints for more info? thanks in advance :)

  5. Hi Dorotea,
    If you tell me which faculty and give contact details I could probably send something

  6. Hi RevitCat, I am an Architectural Engineering Student in Leeds and I am currently designing a Library for my Masters Degree Project. I am also very interested in creating this parametric model as part of my roof, Is there a possibility of seeing the tutorial on how to construct this on revit? Kind Regards Janina Isaacs
    Do you have an email address?
