Application Version: Applied All Revit
Issue:
The automatic cleanup of polygons is not occurring when using the blending tool in Revit. This becomes evident when transitioning from one polygonal geometry to a different polygonal geometry, leading to disorderly polygons around the transition due to variations in the number of vertices.
Causes:
The discrepancy in the number of vertices during transitions disrupts Revit's processing algorithm, preventing the automatic cleanup of polygons.
Solution:
To address this issue and achieve a smoother blending surface, it is essential to ensure that the number of vertices in all blending profile shapes is consistent.
Steps:
- Identify the highest number of vertices in the profiles. (In the example below, 12 is the highest vertex count.
- Match all profile geometries to have the same number of vertices.
- To align the vertices, you can use the slicing tool to cut the sides or place a reference point on the side.
- Create a surface by selecting all profile geometries and the path.
Comparing the difference between the same process without matching the vertices:
As depicted in the image above, without matching the vertices, the surface appears uneven and deformed when transitioning from a circle to a polygonal geometry. Ensuring the vertices are consistent provides a solution for achieving a smoother transition between different polygonal geometries.
