AAyyappa Adapureddy9 Dec 2022

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.

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 - 10),
- Second one end (Value - 650).
- Third one step (Value - 10).

Sin values are very small so, we need to amplify it. For this, insert another integer slider and name it as amplifier.
This, amplifier code block needs to be multiplied to the sin block.
For this, search product function in the library.
Input for x value is sin block and for y value is amplifier.

Hence, the set of sinusoidal points are obtained.
Now, we have to convert them to a curve.
The curve can be created from nurbscurve.
Search Nurbscurve in library and choose nurbs cuvrve by control points
Now, connect the Points by coordinate block as input for the nurbs curve. A line will be developed connecting the points.

Next step is to create the surface.
For this, first create a list.
This can be done by searching list.create in the search panel of library.
Then connect all the output of the sine curves as input for the list.
This will serve as the input for surface by loft block.

Hence, the surface is developed out of the curve.

RESULT:

Result:

A conceptual layout of floor is created using dynamo and can alter the height and length of the wall in revit screen using integer slider in dynamo.

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 and choosing the wall types and wall parameters.

Procedure :-

Open Revit 2023.
Go to Manage Tool.
Open Dynamo in Visual programming.

Inorder to create the wall first we have to create four control points.
For this, 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 point 1(x,0,0), control point 2(0,y,0) and control point 3(x,y,0).

Now, we have to connect these points by a line.
So for this, search line by start and end point and insert 4 blocks.
The input for these blocks are the points created previously.
Now, search wall in the panel and choose wall by curve and height.
So, for this input required are curve, height, level and wall type. Inputs are given as follows:
- For curve, combine all the four lines in a list by choosing list.create.
- For height, another number slider is chosen and name it as height.
- For 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.
- For wall type, search wall type in the panel and it will display the wall types linked in the revit file.

The height of the wall can be adjusted using the slider.
Now, we have to place the floor.
For this, type floor in the library and select floor by outlinecurve, floor type and level.

Now insert the Floor at Floor Level.
Now insert The Floor Type Block.
Choose floor Type.
Insert Floor by Outline type and Level.
Parameters of Outline type and Level are Outline Curves, Floor Type and Levels.

RESULT:

Result :-

Created a conceptual layout of floor plan in dynamo using the tools available in dynamo and choosing the wall types and wall parameters.

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 by using Dynamo.

INTRODUCTION:

Autodesk Dynamo is a programming environment that requires no programming experience. Dynamo enables designers to create visual programming so they can explore a wide range of parametric conceptual designs using logic, simple data and analysis without the need to create a physical prototype.

Parametric modeling is a modeling process with the ability to change the shape of model geometry as soon as the dimension value is modified. Parametric modeling is implemented through the design computer programming code such as a dynamo script to define the dimension and the shape of the model.

PROCEDURE:-

Open Revit 2023.
Go to Manage Tool.
Open Dynamo in Visual programming.
Place Architecture Column in Athe Architecture template.
Copy the Column with Array and make it 4 columns.
So the angle of the columns are changed.
You can manage the angle by integer Slider.

RESULT:-

Created an array of model elements in Revit by 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 and apply the concepts similar to used in parametric walkway modelling and use triangular bent or square shaped panels to add finish to the parametric column.

INTRODUCTION:

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.
Draw the Spline as per your views.

Now, create a profile to sweep through curve.
Set the workplanes at the points and develpo a Polygon at the points.

Create the surface which done through Sweep.
Select all polygons and curve lines and choose create Form option.
Now select the Form.
Divide Surface.
Provide pattern of triangle Bent.

Result :-

Created a conceptual mass in Revit and developed a parametric column by dividing the surfaces and applied the concepts similar to used in parametric walkway modelling and used triangular bent or square shaped panels to add finish to the parametric column.

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 create a set of a Parametric Stadium and List parameters and use the visual programming approach to complete the modelling.

PROCEDURE:-

Open Revit 2023.
Go to Manage Tool.
Open Dynamo in Visual programming.
Start the process by inserting 4 interger Sliders by typing Integer slider in search Panel.
Name all 4 Codes. Number of Levels, Floor to Floor Height, Botton Floor Rotation, Top Floor Rotation.
Insert the code BLock.
And code it as 0..#levels..Floorheight;
Connect the Levels and Floor Height.
