In dynamo

In Revit

c) Create a surface out of the curve:

*Create a group:

- Select all nodes

- Click on edit - select create group

- Give a title name to group as a"1st curve"

- Select the group copy it and paste 3times

- Give name them as a "2nd curve", "3rd curve", "4th curve"

- Change there amplitude by using number silder- 2nd:100, 3rd:200, 4th:400

* Create a Surface:
