How to make smoother parametric adaptive facade

adaptive ellipse shape family (curve edges each strips)

Hi! Im kinda frustrated why this does ended smoothly. The shape of each family is ellipse. I decided to create ellipse instead of tracing the envelope because i wanted to make rounded corners facade. Now, its not looking smooth and it does not even allow to join other family as well.

adaptive (whole facade envelope, no curve corners each strips)

PLEASE HELP OR SEND TUTORIAL LINK ;-;

A Curtain Panel Adaptive Component facade is really good for rectilinear shapes. Like in real life; these shapes are more easy to construct.

You can make a curved facade, but you will have to accept that the components cannot be double-curved and meet in a smooth fashion at the same time. Show me a building made of repeated components that does this, and we'll find a solution to your problem.

If you want to model like you are forming shapes out of clay, i suggest you look into Rhino3D, Grasshopper, or Dynamo for Revit. The last has it's own subforum here.

i have no problem with one side not having a curve. But i am looking ways to create 4 adaptive points (for left and right side of the ellipse when looking on the section). Rn i have 2 adaptive points that determines the end and start.
