Well, getting closer. Needing a formula for the Arcs of the Valleys (I'm naming it R2). When I assign it a parameter (w or w/o a formula) it breaks (Locks to planes broken). Maybe I need to look at a differently, maybe I can get away with a straight line & skip all the fun? I feel it may need to work out the Semi-Ellipse that it is, but to work to get there weighs heavily already, lol. The Monkey Wrench is the "Designers" wanting the Arc point at the segment & the Arc point at the Center axis of the Groin Vault to to be at different heights.

After I get this monkey off my back I'll be producing & sharing the Rigs for Segmental, Tudor, Moorish, & 3-Centered Arches for the Groin Vault conditions. No one should go through this torture & I don't mind sharing & keeping the spirit of BIM going by paying it forward
Attached is the updated version.

PS: Equation of Valley for a Hexagonal Groin Vault... y = cos(h) (x/4) – 1. The one I'm doing will be of 12 faces if 360*.

Here is my final iteration in order to create the Ceiling Reference/Finish.

Thanks, that is awesome, I will have to take a look how you've set this up as Im such an amateur with these adaptive components.

You might like to see if you can get a copy of paul aubin's 'revit renaissance '. It's a couple years old now but has an insane amount of info on building classical architecture forms with revit. Lots of AC goodness.

+1 for that book. I actually took mine to Kinkos (along with a couple other frequent reference books) to get a spiral binding put in instead of the typical book binding. Totally worth the cost.

I actually have the book & skimmed through it to get my creative juices going. I also went through Marcello Sgambelluri AU 2016 class (AR20572: More Families in Motion: New and Exciting Methods That Make Your Revit Families Move) again showing relationships using a Chicken Walker (AT-ST), & a Lull (all-terrain fork-lift) to name a few.
