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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1 Aim of the project- To create a set of sinusoidal points, a curve and surface out of the curve in DYNAMO with relation to REVIT.
1.2 Procedure-
Step-1- First of all, the architectural template has been opened, and then to open the Dynamo, from manage tool the dynamo option has been selected.
Step-2-After opening of the Dynamo software, by searching the integer slider, three integer slider has been created by coping the one integer slider.
Step-3- Then, range has been created and one slider is connected to start in the range tool, second slider is connected to end and third slider has been connected to step.
Step-4-After creation of the range, two point by coordinate has been created and a code block has been created and the number 50 has been added to the code block. To add sinusoidal path, a math.sin function in dynamo has been used.
Step-5- Now, connect the range to x coordinate in first point by coordinate, connect range to angle option in math.sin and range to x coordinate in second point by coordinate.
Step-6-Then after constructing a product function which is multiplication code block, the code block is connected to z in second point by coordinate, math.sin has been connected to y in second point by coordinate, math.sin to product x and code block has been connect to product y.
And now the product variant is connected to z in first point by coordinate, up to the sinusoidal point has been created.
Step-7- In order to make to sinusoidal curve, two nurbs by control point has been constructed.
first point by coordinate is connected to points in 1st nurbs by control point and second point by coordinate is connected to the point in 2nd nurbs by control point.
Step-8- A list create has been created and two items has been added as item0 and item 1 in the list create.
Step-9- Now, the curve has been created by loft option i.e. surface by loft and connect the list to cross-section in surface by loft.

Step-4- Now, these four points has been connected by four lines i.e. Line by start point end point as four lines is required to join the four points.
Connection
1st point has been connected to 1st line start
2nd point has been connected to 1st line end
1st point has been connected to 4th line end
2nd point has been connected to 2nd line start
3rd point has been connected to 2nd line end
3rd point has been connected to 3rd line start
4th point has been connected to 3rd line end
4th point has been connected to 4th line start
Step-5- To make them 4 set of line to make complete wall, a list create option is required and four items i.e. item0, item1, item2, item3 has been added to list created.
Now connect the 1st line by start point end point to item0, 2nd line by start point end point to item1, 3rd line by start point end point to item2 and 4th line by start point end point to item3.
Step-6- Create a level, wall type, insert one integer slider, wall by curve and height option.
And connect list create to curve, level to level, wall type to wall type and integer slider to height.
Step-7- In order to create the floor, a floor type and floor by outlined type and level tool has been created.
Step-8- Now connect the list create to outlined curve, floor type to floor type and level to level.
