An earlier
post introduced the idea of comparing the five traditional form
creation tools with equivalent techniques in the Revit Conceptual
Massing Environment. Previously we analysed the creation of extrusion forms in the CME. Now it is the next of the 5 traditional forms:

Part 2: Blends
In the traditional Revit environment, you have to decide on a blend before you start. In the
massing environment you can do that or decide to create a blend after you have made an extrusion. The exact method depends on how the profile is created before using it
to generate a form.
I have recorded a video description of this process, available on YouTube.
This one is pretty quiet, maybe suitable for an open plan office. Crank up the volume if you are at home.
Read on if you don’t like videos (or you are hard of hearing!).
There are several ways to create a blend form in the CME:
Method A (Unlock Extrusion)
This method assumes that you already have a form created as an…
