Creating Conceptual mass in REVIT and Creation of Sinusoidal curve and a Parametric stadium using Dynamo

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

Aim :

The aim is to create a set of sinusoidal points and create a curve and create a surface out of the curve.

Steps:

• Using the integers option create the points first for the curve and line.
• Set the range for the curve and line, then multiply the coordinates
• Create the curve by using theh Nurbcurve by coordinates option.
• Create the list prior creating the surface.
• Then create the surface using the Poly surface option.

Result:

Hence the sinusoidal points with curve and surface is created.

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:

The aim is to create a conceptual layout of floor plan in dynamo.

Steps:

• Create the points using the point by coordinate option.
• Connect the points by using the Line by Startpoint End point option.
• Set the levels and create the wall with type.
• Create the floor by using the floor byoutline type and level.

Result:

Hence the conceptual layout of floor plan is created.

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:

The aim is to create an array of model elements in Revit.

Steps:

• Create the columns in Revit.
• Select the columns in Dynamo using the select model elelment option.
• Then by using the Set rotation option rotate the column to 45 deg.

Result:

Hence the array model is created.

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:

The aim is 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.

Steps:

• Open the conceptual mass layout.
• Create the curve using the spline option.
• Set the plane using set and show option
• Draw the polygon along the set plane.
• Create form after selecting the curve and the polygon.
• Then select the type as Traingle bent under the properties option.

Result:

Hence the conceptual mass is created.

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:

The aim is to develop a Parametric Stadium.

Steps:

• Create the Levels and set floor heights using the integerslide option
• Set the size of the rectangle to be created using the integerslide option.
• Then set the point of coordinates.
• Create the rectangle by using the rectangle by widthlength option.
• Create the surfcae using the surface by loft option.

Result:

Hence the Parametric stadium is created.
