PPrudhviraju Dora18 Jul 2021

1) Using Dynamo create a set of sinusoidal points and create a curve and create a surface out of the curve.

Aim: Using Dynamo create a set of sinusoidal points and create a curve and create a surface out of the curve.

procedure:

In manage, tab selects the dynamo.

Then dynamo window opens and new option.

now, start the process with three integer sliders.

this can be done by typing code block

one block is named start ( value-5)

second one end ( value-500)

third one step ( value-2)

type range in the search panel of the library and insert it.

we have to produce sin wave out of these points .

we have to insert sin function

sin values are very small so, we need to amplify it

it inserts another integer slider

name it as an amplifier.

next we have to provide phase for the sin curve

insert an integer slider and name it as phase.

now the phase block is then added to the amplified sin block()

add operator block from library

sinusoidal curve is also developed

next step is to develop surface

firse create a group of these items for easy manipulation

entire thing will be grouped together.

step is to create the surface

first create a list

create in the search panel of library

the sine curves as input for the list

this will serve as the input for surface by loft block

we have to create the surface

search surface by loft

2) Create a conceptual layout of floor plan in dynamo . Using the tools available in dynamo link the lines to appropriate model elements in Revit by choosing the wall types and wall parameters. Make use of the sliders to slide through the height of the wall and length of the wall.

Aim: Create a conceptual layout of floor plan in dynamo . Using the tools available in dynamo link the lines to appropriate model elements in Revit by choosing the wall types and wall parameters. Make use of the sliders to slide through the height of the wall and length of the wall.

procedure:

open a new architectural template.

go to the manage tab and open the dynamo

search points by coordinates in the search panel of the library

1st one is named as origin(0,0,0) and the rest is named as control point1(x,0,0) control point2(0,y,0) and control point 3(x,y,0)

now two insteger sliders to provide the values for x and y values

connect these poines by a line

search line by start and end point and insert 4 blocks

input for these blocks are the points created previosly.

layout of the floor pian is obtained.

curve combine all the four lines in a list by choosing list create

height another number slider is chosen and name it as height

level search level in the search panel it will contain the levels availbale in your revit folder then choose the level in which you want to place your structure.

view the 3d form where the height of the wall is visible

3) Create an array of model elements in Revit. Use dynamo to vary the properties of model elements by using the slider or code block

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

procedure:

Open a new architectural template in revit file

go to architectural tab and go to columnsand size of the 610mm*610mm

20 columns are created.

the properties of the model element are varied using dynamo

open dynamo

search panel of the library select model elements integer slider and set rotation.

integer slider is renamed as rotation angle

select model elements block will be the input for family instance and integar slider will be input for degree.

the rotation angle can be varied to desired value.

4) Create a conceptual mass in Revit and develop a parametric column by dividing the surfaces and apply the concepts similar to used in parametric walkway modelling. Use triangular bent or square shaped panels to add finish to the parametric column

Aim: Create a conceptual mass in Revit and develop a parametric column by dividing the surfaces and apply the concepts similar to used in parametric walkway modelling. Use triangular bent or square shaped panels to add finish to the parametric column

procedure:

Open revit software and under the families open a new

now go to elevation view and create a level at 10 feet and name it as height of roof

now using spline tool draw the desired outline for the walkway

now we have to create a profile to sweep through the curve

for this we have to set the workplace at the points and develop a polygon at the workplace

a polygon is developed with point as center

we have to create the surface which done through sweep

select all the polygons and the curve line and choose create form option.

now select the form divide surface then provide the pattern

now open a new family curtain panel pattern based

now select the pattern as triangle bent

now load this into the project

select the enitre form of the walkway and filter it to retain only the divided surface

then in the pattern select the family that we have created just now

5) Use Dynamo to work on developing a Parametric Stadium. List your parameters and use the visual programming approach to complete the modelling, You can use the concepts discussed in parametric high rise tower in class for reference

AIM: Use Dynamo to work on developing a Parametric Stadium. List your parameters and use the visual programming approach to complete the modelling, You can use the concepts discussed in parametric high rise tower in class for reference

Procedure

initially open a new architectural template in revit and then open dynamo.

basic parameters to design a high rise structure is created as input in dynamo
