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 and create a curve and create a surface out of curve.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open a new Revit file and a architectural template.
• Click on manage tab and select Dynamo tool.

• Click on new and start working in Dynamo.

• With the help of code block we have to assign start,end and step of the curve.

• Now we need amplifier and phase for the curve, so we can use code block and integer slider.

• We can connect the start,end and step to the range.
• Now assign new parameter called Math.sin for the sin curve.

• Connect Math.sin to x of * and amplifier to y of *.
• Connect variable of * to x of + and integer slider to y of +.

• Connect the variable of + to y of point by coordinate.
• Connect points to points in nurbs curve and integer slider to degree in nurbs curve.

RESULT:-

We have created a set of sinusoidal points and join them.

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 in dynamo.Use appropriate parameters like wall types,wall parameters and use sliders for wall height and length.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open a new Revit file and a architectural template.
• Click on manage tab and select Dynamo tool.
• Click on new and start working in Dynamo.
• Create two integer sliders for x and y.

• Create four points by coordinates.

• Connect the points to line by start and end point.
• Create levels,height of wall and wall type parameters.

• Connect height of wall,wall types,levels and list to wall by curve and height.
• Go to revit file and see the 3D view.

RESULT:-

We have created a conceptual layout of floor with all the required parameters.

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:-

To create an array of elements in revit using dynamo.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open architectural template in revit and draw a column.

• Select the column and copy paste it at horizontal distance of 10'.

• Select both the column and copy paste vertically.

• Go to manage tab and select dynamo.
• In dynamo Add select model elements,set rotation,code block and integer slider parameters.

• Give a standard value to the code block and connect select model elements and code block to set rotation.

• Now connect the integer slider to the set rotation parameter to change the rotation of the columns.
• We can change the values on the integer slider and see the rotation of the columns simultaneously in the revit file with different values.
• Observe the rotation in 3D view.

RESULT:-

We can create and change the parameters of an array of elements in revit with the help of dynamo.

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:-

To create a conceptual mass in revit and develope a parametric column and apply surfaces similar to as used in parametric walkway modelling.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open revit and select new family under that select conceptual mass and click ok.

• Conceptual mass family opens.

• Select North view and a level of 10'.

• Select line option and draw a line of 10' between both the levels.

• Go to the 3D view and add referance points on the line at appropriate distances.
• Now select set option at the points and draw polygons at reference points.

• Select all the components and click on create form.

• Select all the elements and click on divide surface tool.

• We can create new families by going into curtain panel pattern based and select ok.

• We can load the family into the project of conceptual mass and change the pattern .

RESULT:-

We can create a conceptual mass in revit and develope a parametric column by dividing the surfaces and add triangular bent shaped panels.

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:-

To create a parametric stadium with the help of dynamo.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open revit file and go to manage tab and select dynamo tool.
• Add 4 integer sliders and assign them to number of levels,floor to floor distance,bottom floor rotation and top floor rotation.

• Add code block,coordinates by origin,rectangle by width and length and geometry rotation.

• Now connect the integer sliders to code block and width and length sliders to width and length in rectangle by width and length.

• Now connect rectangle,point,axis and degrees parameters to geometry rotate.

• We can change the top and bottom rotation to see the twist in the building.We can also change the height of floor and number of floors.

RESULT:-

We have created a parametric stadium with the help of dynamo.
