Q1.) Using Dynamo create a set of sinusoidal points and create a curve and create a surface out of the curve.

Aim: To create a set of sinusoidal points, a curve and a surface out of the curve using dynamo.

Procedure:

Initially, open the architecture template of Revit software and go to manage tab.
In manage tab select the dynamo.
Then dynamo window opens and then go to new option.

Now, start the process by inserting three integer slider.
This can be done by typing code block in the library search panel.
One block is named start (Value - 5),
Second one end (Value - 300).
Third one step (Value - 1).

Hence, the surface is developed out of the curve.

Result:

A set of sinusoidal points have been created as follows:

Q2) 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: To 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:

Step 1: Open an architectural template and using the manage tab open Dynamo.

Step 2: Create 4 base points for floor layout. Add sliders for x, y, and z values for parametric adjustment. Also, join them by line function linebystartpointendpoint.

Step 3: Create a list using these lines and using wall ByCurvesAndHeight create wall surfaces. Add necessary parameters required.

Changes will be reflected in the Revit workplace, adjust the height slider to vary the height of the building.

Result: In Revit, workspace changes will be reflected.

Q3) 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: To 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:

Step 1: Open Revit and create an array of columns using the Architectural tab.

Step 2: Now go to the Manage tab and open Dynamo. Now search for Select Model Element. Also create a slider for rotation (degrees) and add a code block for Set Rotation.

Step 3: Now use the slider to rotate all elements.

Result: properties of the elements are varied using Dynamo.

Q4 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:

To create a conceptual mass in Revit and develop a parametric column by dividing the surfaces.

Procedure:

Open revit software and under the families open a new --> conceptual mass --> mass.
Now, go to elevation view and create a level at 3.6m and name it as Height of roof.

Now, using spline tool draw the desired outline for the walkway.

Hence, the conceptual mass have been created.

Q5. 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:

To develop a Parametric Stadium using dynamo in Revit.

Procedure:
