For the delivery 2 I thought to get inspiration from the next design (it is a my idea of some years ago)

I found my old drawings, that I did with autocad, and I begin to think how to do my project. So I do a new sketch with autocad.

Then I open Revit and choose the family template “Metric Generic Model face based”

Now Select Front View

Import sketch made with autocad

With the menu Insert -> Import CAD

Then move it as shown in the next image

Do a new extrusion to construct the frame from the next profile

Create the parameter Width_FrameA 

Now create the parameter Material (see Type parameter in this blog)

Now there is the object LV_FrameA

Create the other part of the frame in the same way; it is LV_FrameB

Create the rods like another parametric object beginning from the template “metric Generic Model face based”.

It is the  family:  LV_cues

This family have the next parameters (to do this see how is made “Portale” in this blog):

Do a new family from template “Metric Generic Model face based” LV_dPattern where assemble the families LV_FrameA, LV_FrameB and LV_cues.

To make sure that the family is designed to move as a single object, bound the faces as shown below (for example, takes only a part but all the rods are placed in the same way)

The rods are locked each other

Create the family “LV_BigFrame”. Import the autocad sketch. Create the frame.

Create a new family from “Metric Generic Model” to do the final object.

Import the autocad sketch in Front View.

Load the family “LV_Bigframe” in  ref_level. Switch in Front View again or in 3d View. Load the family "LV_cues" and create the necessary rods and link them with the family "LV_Bigframe". See below:

Insert the family “LV_dPattern” and link it to the frame as shown in the next image: 

Construct another wall and assemble them as shown below:

Lab test:

exported the LV_frame in dxf format (autocad 2010), Then open it in CNC USB Controller. 

Run the program on laser cutter (home made):

This object is in woodpaper (see below):
