Description

This tool will automatically warp elements to the selected locations. The tool has a modeless dialog box that allows the user to see and manipulate the warp in real time. Because this box is present on top of Revit and the user is allowed to use Revit while this tool is active the inputs may seem to stop working. This is not a bug, if the inputs seem to stop updating the lines this means Revit has determined it is busy with another tool. If this happens, try to close any tools other than the warping tool and try to update your numbers again. This should fix this issue.

Once both evaluation points are known for each member the tool will compute hat functions at each corner point giving a value that can be used to calculate the offset at a given (x, y) location. Once the offset calculation is known using any offset point from the Family Instance points will allow for an angle to be found. These found values are placed in 4 parameters, 2 for each side of the Family Instance. The parameters that hold these values are set in the Warping Tool Settings.

The Start of the member uses the “Manual_ Mark _ End _Offset” Warp Offset and “Manual_ Mark _ End _ Warp _Angle”Angle parameters for the offset height and warp angle respectively. The end of the member uses the “Manual_Opp_End_Offset” and “Manual_Opp_End_Warp_Angle” for Opposite End Warp Offset and Opposite End Warp Angle parameters for the offset height and warp angle respectively.
