Introduction: To create a set of sinusoidal points and create a curve and create a surface out of the curve.

Procedure:

Open the revit software and open the architectural drawing template for creating dynamo.
Go to the manage tab and click on the dynamo icon.
Then if will redirect you to the dynamo page.

Now we can see the dynamo work sheet.
Then select the file or open the new file from the options.

New file is opened.

Now to create the curve, first we need to take the points.
So, type slider in the search bar and select Numeric or Integer slider.

Now integer sliders are created.
For creating points, take 3 integer sliders.

Now change the name for the sliders as start, centre and End.

Now give the values for the 3 sliders.

Now search for the range and click ok.
Then range icon is displayed.
Now connect the integer sliders to the range.

Then type point on the search option.
And select the 3 point x,y,z search option.

After creating the points, now we can see the points are available on the dynamo icon screen.

Then type code block in the serch and select code block.

Now we can see the code block icon.

And again take the point cordinate option.

Now for calculating the points, search for math.sin option.

Select the math.sin option and click ok.

Now connect range points to the point coordinates.
After connecting the points, now we can see the sinusoidal points.

Now take the math.sin option from the search icon.

Then connect the points from the range to the math.sin and to the point by coordinates.

Now take the product option for the multiples of x and y points.

Then connect all the points accordingly to the values.

Now give the values to the code block and connect to the points by coordinates.

Then we can see the 2 lines points on the dynamo screen.

Now connect code block to z point in the points by coordinates option.

Connect math.sin point to y point in point cordinates

Now connect Math sin to product X

Now connect code block to product y

Then give the product variant to Z point.

Now we can see the sinusoidal curves.

Now search for Nurbs by control points.

Then create the list from the search option.

Now connect point to point by nurbs curve.
Then we can see the line on the curve.

Now we can see the curve with line.

connect nurbs curve to list item no. 2

Now go to Surface by loft option.

Take the surface of the curve for the sinusoidal curve.

And finally sinusoidal curve is created.

Click on the slider option and select integer slider.

Place the two integer sliders.

Assign the values for the integer slider.

Now take the point by point coordinate option and select x,y,z coordinate point option.

Then take the four coordinate point option.

Now combine the points with the coordinate points.
Then we can see the four coordinate points on the plane.

Now type line point by start point and end point.

Take the four line coordinate points as we have four points.

Now connect all the end point for creating wall line.

Now we can see the wall in the revit.

Create the list for four values.

Connect the list to the four list items.

Now search for levels and create a level.

Then create wall types from the search option.

Then insert one integer slider.

Now place the level as level 1 from the options.

And select the wall from the given wall type options. '

Then select the integer slider value.

Now connect wall with by curve options.
For that select wall by curve option from the search option.

Then connect all the points to the wall type.

After that, open the revit and we can see the wall with height.

And now we have to create the floor for the wall, for that search for floor type option and floor outline type options.

Now connect the points for the level, floor and outline curve.

And then we can see the floor created for the wall.

Result:

3.Aim: To create an array of model elements in Revit by using dynamo to vary the properties of model elements by using the slider or code block.

Introduction: To create an array of model elements in Revit by using dynamo to vary the properties of model elements by using the slider or code block.

Procedure:

First we need to open the revit software by using architectural template.

Then create the four architectural columns by using architectural column.

Then create four architectural columns.

Now go to manage tab and select for dynamo.

Now we have to insert the columns to dynamo file.
For that we need to create select multiple elements options from the search option.

Then we need to rotate the drawing for 45deg.
For that select set rotation angle from the search bar.

For assigining the rotation angle, we need integer slider.

Now we need to click select option and select the columns in the revit.
Then we can see the elements value placing in the drawing.

After that, give the integer value as 45deg,

Then connect the points as integer slider to family instance and degree as element value.
Now after connecting the points, go to the revit software and there we can see the rotation of columns at an angle of 45deg.

First we need to open the revit software.
Now create a new file and select conceptual mass option.

Now go to the conceptual mass option and select metric mass option.

Then we can see the conceptual mass elements.

Now click on the elevation view of the conceptual mass drawing.

Then create the pick line option and create one leve with the offset distance of 12' .

Then go to the floor plan view.
Select the create tab and select the model line option.

Now select the model line and select the spline option.
Then draw the spline line in the floor plan.
Now we can see the spline line created in the floor plan.

Now go to the 3D view option.

Then select the set plane option and select the point.
In the same way select all the points as a set plane.

Once the set plane is created, then select the circumscribed circle option and place at the point.

Then in the dynamo, we need 2 integer sliders.
For that, search slider option and select integer slider.

Now change the slider names for creating levels.

Then change the integer values as per the drawing.
Now create a code block for the integer values.

Now give the value to the code block.
And then connect the levels and height to the code block.

After that, take the origin for the x,y,z coordinate points.

Then connect the code block to the coordinate system by origin points.

Now take the four integer sliders for length, width, bottom floor rotation and top floor rotation

Create rectangle by width and length with the coordinate system.

Then connect the levels to the width, length and coordinate system to the rectangle.

Connect the code block to z axis for point coordinates and origin coordinates system.
Now connect width, length and coordinate system to the rectangel points.

Now we have created parametric code rotation blocks.

Now create the code block for the floor rotation angle.

Create the code block and enter the text for bottom and top levels.

Now connect top, botom and levels points.
