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

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

ANSWER :-

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.

->->->

TO CREATE SINUSOIDAL POINTS

• Insert 3 Integer Slider from Library and rename accordingly for Start, End and Step
• Insert Range and connected all inputs from Sliders
• Insert Point.ByCoordinate and connect “X” with seq (output of Range)
• Insert Math.sin and provided input from seq (output of Range)
• Insert Multiplication and CodeBlock (renamed with Curve)
• Provided inputs for multiplication from Math.sin and Curve
• Insert one more Integer Slider (renamed with Y-Point) and one Addition
• Provided inputs for addition from Y-Point and Multiplication
• Given output of addition to “z” point of Point.ByCoordinate

CREATE CURVE

• Insert NurbsCurve.ByControlPoints
• Provided input to NurbsCurve.ByControlPoints from output of Point.ByCoordinate
• This will create Curve on the Sinusoidal points

CREATE SURFACE

• Copy all the input nodes and output nodes and past it 2 times

• Change the value of Y-Points
• Insert one List and provide the output of SinWave as an input to List
• Insert one Surface.ByLoft and provide the output of List as Input of Surface.ByLoft

• In 3D view
• 

• RESULT

  Successfully completed a set of sinusodial points.

• Successfully completed a sinusodial curve.

• Successfully completed a surface out of the curve.

Que - 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.

ANSWER :-

AIM:

By using dynamo created conceptual wall layout of floor plan

INTRODUCTION:

To create the conceptual layout of a floor plan in dynamo, used available tool for joining the line, wall type and floor type and used sliders for height and length of wall

PROCEDURE:

OPEN DYNAMO

• Open Revit software
• In new architectural template
• Go to manage tab, click on dynamo under visual programming
• Dynamo window will open
• Create a new dynamo model

CREATE POINT

• Insert 2 integer sliders and rename with x range and y range
• Insert 4 Point.ByCoordinates and rename them accordingly i.e. origin,( x,0), (x, y,),( 0,y)
• Connect the output of integer sliders as an input of Point.ByCoordinates accordingly
• 4 points created, based on the length and width

• The points are created

CREATE LINE

• Insert 4 Line.ByStartPointEndPoint
• Provide output Point.ByCoordinates as an input of Line.ByStartPointEndPoint to connect the line between point accordingly

PROVIDE LEVEL, WALL TYPE AND HEIGHT OF THE WALL

• Insert a List Create, add the 4 items in list and rename as wall curve

• Connect the outputs of each Line.ByStartPointEndPoint to one-by-one list items
• Insert Levels and select the level1
• Insert Integer slider and rename as Height and change the Height as required
• Insert Wall.ByCurveAndHight and provide the inputs from List, Level, Wall Type and Height

• The 3d view of wall in Revit

PROVIDE FLOOR TYPE

• Insert Floor Type
• Insert Floor .By Outline Type And Level
• Provide the input for Floor.ByOutlineTypeAndLevel from List, Floor Type and Level

• Add floor to the model

RESULT:-

• Successfully completed the conceptual layout of floor plan in dynamo using the tools available in dynamo link.
• The height of the wall and length of the wall has been changed using the sliders.

Que - 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

ANSWER :-

AIM:

To create an array of elements in Revit and vary the properties by using slider or code block in dynamo

INTRODUCTION:

Created the array of columns in Revit and by using the integer slider from dynamo, rotate the column in Revit

PROCEDURE:

OPEN REVIT AND CREATE ARRAY OF COLUMN

• Open Revit software
• In new architectural template
• Go to architecture and select architectural column
• Insert 4 columns as shown

OPEN DYNAMO

• Go to manage tab, click on dynamo under visual programming

• Dynamo window will open

• Create a new dynamo model

STEP 3) CREATE ROTATION IN DYNAMO

• Insert Select Model Elements
• Click on Select and select the all the column from Revit
• Insert Integer Slider and provide the angle to the slider
• Insert FamilyInstance.SetRotation and provide inputs from Select Model Element and Integer Slider

RESULT:-

Successfully completed an array of model elements in Revit using dynamo to vary the properties of model elements by using the slider or code block.

Que - 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

ANSWER :-

AIM:

To Create the Conceptual Mass in Revit, create a form and use property of triangular bent icon in the parametric column

INTRODUCTION:

Created a Conceptual Mass and developed a parametric column by dividing the surface and finish the model by using triangular bent shape

PROCEDURE:

OPEN CONCEPTUAL MASS

• Open Revit software
• Go to File tab > from new select Conceptual Mass
• Select Metric Mass from Conceptual Mass folder > click Open

• After selecting the mass from the conceptual mass folder the new screen will be visible, as shown below.

CREATE SPLINE COLUMN LINE

• Go to east elevation
• Click on model from modify tab then select pick line from draw tool
• Provide offset of 12’ from Level 1
• Go to level 1 floor plan
• In create tab select spline from draw tool and create 4 points

CONVERT INTO PARAMETRIC SOLID FORM

• In 3D view, select created column line
• Set plane at each created point
• Select polygon and create at all point with mass of 12’
• Again, select created column line and first polygon
• In modify tab, dropdown create form and select solid form

&

CONVERT SOLID FORM TO TRIANGULAR BENT

• Select only form with the help of filter
