Rhino's flow along surface tool in Revit????

Here is the video clip of flow along surface tool in Rhino..
Click the link..

In this case, Revit can easily figure out with a great patterend curtainwall mass tool. But, what if that patten irregular like a Chinese Olympic main stadium bird's nest skin structure....Rhino can easily do though,

I tried but got ugly bird's nest..anyone has an idea? let us know..

Firstly, I made a huge grid set with many adaptive points on each cross which would be a similar template of Rhino's nurbing massing.



Then, I drew arbitrary lines on that surface then sculpted a certain shape to micmick a bird's nest.


And, sweeping all lines with structure profile..then got ugly bird's nest.


any better idea? tired...
