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

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

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

AIM:

Need to create a sinusoidal point then curve from the point and then create surface

INTRODUCTION:

By using dynamo created a sinusoidal point then created a curve from the point and converted it into the surface

PROCEDURE:

STEP 1 :

OPEN DYNAMO :

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

STEP 2 :

CREATE A NEW FILE IN DYNAMO:

• Click on new ithe n dynamo window

STEP 3 :

CREA ATE SINUSOIDAL POINT :

• 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 the output of addition to “z” point of Point.ByCoordinate

STEP 4 :

CREATE CURVE :

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

STEP 5 :

CREATE CUSTOM NODE :

• Select all Output Nodes
• Go to Edit > Create Custom Node
• Provided Name of node as SinWave
• Provided Description as Sine Wave Curve and Category as Revit
• Click on OK

STEP 6 :

CREATE SURFACE :

• Copy all the input nodes and output nodes and past them 2 times
• Change the value of Y-Points
• Insert one List and provide the output of SinWave as an input to the List
• Insert one Surface.ByLoft and provide the output of List as Input of Surface ByLoft

RESULT:

After following the above steps, we get the result of the sinusoidal surface in Revit as shown below.

2) Create a conceptual layout of the 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 the length of the wall.

AIM:

By using Dynamo created a conceptual wall layout of the floor plan

INTRODUCTION:

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

PROCEDURE:

STEP 1:

OPEN DYNAMO:

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

STEP 2:

CREATE POINT:

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

STEP 3:

CREATE LINE:

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

STEP 4:

PROVIDE THE LEVEL, WALL ,TYPE AND HEIGHT OF, THE WALL:

• Insert a List Create and add the 4 items to the list
• Connect the outputs of each Line.ByStartPointEndPoint to one-by-one list items
• Insert Levels and select the level1
• Insert the Wall Type and choose the wall type as Generic 6” Masonry
• Insert Integer slider and rename as Hight and change the Hight as required
• Insert Wall.ByCurveAndHight and provide the inputs from List, Level, Wall ,Type and Hight

STEP 5:

PROVIDE FLOOR TYPE:

• Insert Floor Type and select Wood Joist 10” – Ceramic Tile
• Insert Floor.ByOutlineTypeAndLevel
• Provide the input for Floor.ByOutlineTypeAndLevel from List, Floor Type, and Level

RESULT:

After following the above steps, obtain the result in Revit as shown below wthe ith appropriate wall length, width, height, and materials.

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:

Need to create an array of elements in Revit and vary the properties by using a slider or code block in Dynamo

INTRODUCTION:

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

PROCEDURE:

STEP 1:

OPEN REVIT AND CREATE ARRAY OF COLUMN:

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

STEP 2:

OPEN DYNAMO:

• Go to the 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 selthe all the colucolumnsm Rcol columns
• Insert Integer Slider and provide the angle to the slider
• Insert FamilyInstance.SetRotation and provide inputs from Select Model Element and Integer Slider

Result:

After following above the teps, obtain the result as shown below, column has been rotated by 45 degrees.

4) Create a conceptual mass in Revit and develop a parametric column by dividing the surfaces and applying the concepts similar to those use in parametric walkwmodelinging. Use triangular bent or square-shaped panels to add finish to the parametric column.

AIM:

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

INTRODUCTION:

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

PROCEDURE:
