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:

To create a set of sinusoidal points, a curve and a surface out of the curve using dynamo.

INTRODUCTION:-

Creation a set of sinusoidal points, curve and to creation a surface out of the curve is going to be explained in detail with step by step procedure.

PROCEDURE:-

Open Revit 2024.

Go to Manage Tool.

Open Dynamo in Visual programming.

Search for integer slider in the search tab.

place the integer slider thrice in the drawing sheet

provide the value as per the requirement

Then search for range and place it in the sheet.

Then connect the integer slider with the range.

Go to library and serach for points by coordinates.

 Place the pointbycoordinates in the drawing screen

Then go to library and search for code block

Then copy the point byco-ordinate by using the copy and paste control commands

Then search math.sin  and involk it to the screen

connect the list from range to the x of point by coordinates

And then connect the range to the Math.sin 

Search for product in the search

Then connect the code block to the  pointbycoordinate Z

Connect the Math.sin to  pointsbyco-ordinate y

And also code block to product Y

Now connect the product number to the pointbycoordinates Z

Then connect to the math.sin to the product

And also connect Range to the pointbycoordinates X

Now go to search and search for nurbsbycontrolpoint OR nurbs 

Also search for List create and put it on the drawing screen

Copy the nurbs by control point

Connect the points by coordinates to the nurbs point

And do the same for the other one also

Then search for surfacebyloft

Connect the list create to the surfacebyloft

finally, the surface has been created as a Sinosoudal curve. 

RESULT :-

Using Dynamo we have created a set of sinusoidal points and created a curve and created a surface out of the curve.

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:- To create a conceptual layout of floor plan in dynamo along with choose appropriate model elements such as wall types, wall paramenters, height of the wall and length of the wall.

INTRODUCTION:- 

Creation of conceptual layout of floor plan in dynamo along with appropriate model elements such as wall types, wall parameters, height of the wall and length of the wall is going to be explained in detail with step by step procedure.

PROCEDURE:-

Open Revit 2024.

Go to Manage Tool.

Open Dynamo in Visual programming.

Type integer in search box select integer slider

Make 2 integer slider box

Type pointbycoordinate in search  to involking it on the screen

Make 4 pointbycoordinate

Connect integer slider 1 to X of point by coordinate 1

Connect the integer slider 1 to Y of point by coordinate 2

Connect the integer slider 2 to X of point by coordinate 2

Connect the integer slider 2 to Y of point by coordinate 3

Now we need to make lines

Type line in search box and select line by startpoint and endpoint

Make 4 similar  of it

And connect the point as shown in figure

Now we have to create wall height

Search list and select list create

Connect the line of the line by start end point to the  item 0 , 1 , 2  and 3

Search option in search for walls

Levels, wall types and also add integer slider.

Then connect the list , levels , wall types and  integers slider to the wall by curve and height as per the name

The wall layout formed in revit is as below

RESULT:-

 A conceptual layout of floor plan in dynamo 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:

Need 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 software

In new architectural template

Go to architecture and select architectural column

Insert 9 columns as shown

Go to manage tab, click on dynamo under visual programming

Dynamo window will open

Create a new dynamo model

Search  Model Elements and put it on the screen as below,

Also, Insert Integer Slider and provide the angle to the slider

  

Insert FamilyInstance. SetRotation and connect to Select Model Element and Integer Slider

change the integer value (45 degree) which we will given as degree measurement for the rotation of the column

the screen is as below up till;

select the columns in the revit by by clicking on select from select model element in the dynamo

connect the integer slider to the degree of the family instance

also connect the selected  model element to the family instance as below

 

then the columns are rotated by 45 degree in revit module

RESULT:-

After following above steps, obtain the result as shown below, column as been rotated by 45 degree

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:

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 Revit 2024 in computer

Go to File tab - from new select Conceptual Mass

 

Then select the spline through points option to draw the spline

And draw the spline

After drawing the spline go to the modified tab where you will find a set work plane option

Click on that option which is highlighted below;

Then draw the workplane by clicking on the set plane option and to view the  plane just click on the show option

Now to create the polygon around the spline just click on the circumscribed polygon option and draw the polygons on the spline and draw the polygons on the created work plane

After that select the created splin and all the polygons that we have created and go to the create form option and click on the solid form to create the solid form

Hence solid form has been created

Select the solid form

Then go to the divide surface option

After selecting the form change the property of pattern and number of U & V grid

Select the pattern Triangle checkboard (flat)

 

RESULT:

After following above steps, got the below shown result Conceptual Mass of parametric column and finished the model by using triangular bent shape

 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.
