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

Q1. Using Dynamo create a set of sinusoidal points and create a curve and create a surface out of the curve?

Ans.

AIM - create a set of sinusoidal points and create a curve and create a surface out of the curve

Procedure -

1. Open new revit file and open a architectural template.

2. click on manage tab and select dynamo tool.

3. Dynamo work space opens and click on new and start the work in dynamo.

4. For drawing a sinusoidal curve we have some parameter such as start, end and step of the curve.

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

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

7. We have to connect the start, end and step to the range.

8. we have to assign new parameters called math.sin for the sin curve.

9. Connect math.sin to x of * and amplifier to y of *

10. Connect variable of * to x of + and interger slider to y of + .

11. Connect the variable of + to y of point by coordinate.

12. Connect point to point in nurbs curve and integer slider to degree in nurbs curve.

Q2. 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 ?

Ans.

AIM - To 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

Procedure -

1. Open new revit file and open a architectural template.

2. click on manage tab and select dynamo tool.

3. Dynamo work space opens and click on new and start the work in dynamo.

4. Create two integer sliders for X any Y

5. Create four points by coordinates.

6. Connect the points to line by start and end point.

7. Create levels, height of wall and wall type parameters.

8. Connect height of wall, wall types, levels and list to wall by curve and height.

9. Now we can go to the revit file and see the wall in 3D view.

Result - Successfully completed to conceptual layout.

Q3. Create an array of model elements in Revit. Use dynamo to vary the properties of model elements by using the slider or code block ?

Ans.

AIM - Create an array of model elements.

Procedure -

1. First open a architectural template and draw architectural column.

2. Next select the column and copy and paste it at a horizontal distance of 6'0"

3. Select both the columns and copy and paste them vertically, Totally we get 4 architectural columns in the drawing.

4. Next go to manage tab and select dynamo option.

5. In the dynamo window Add select model elements, set rotation, code block and integer slider parameters.

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

7. Now connect the integer slider to the set rotation parameter to change the rotation of the columns.

8. Now we can change the values on the integer slider and see the rotation of the columns simultaneously in the revit file with different values.

9. We can observe the same rotation in the 3D view.

Result - Array of model elements are completed with the help of dynamo.

Q4. 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?

Ans

AIM - To 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.

Procedure -

1. First open revit and select new family, under that select conceptual mass and click ok.

2. conceptual mass family opens.

3. Next select north view and add a level say 10'

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

5. Go to the 3D view and add referance points on the line at appropriate distances.

6. Now select set option at the points and draw polygons at referance points which were assigned before.

7. Select all the components and click on create form.

8. Select all the elements and click on divided surfaces tool.

9. Now we can create new families by going into curtain panel pattern based and select ok.

10. Now we can load the family into the project of conceptional mass and change the pattern.

Result - Triangular bent or square shaped panels to add finish to the parametric column are completed.

Q5. 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?

Ans.

AIM - By Using Dynamo to work on developing a Parametric Stadium.

Procedure -

1. Open the revit file and go to manage tab and select dynamo tool.

2. Add 4 integer sliders and assign them for number of levels, floor to floor distance, bottom floor rotation and top floor rotation.

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

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

5. Now connect rectangle, point , axis and degree parameter to geometry rotate.

6. Now 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 - Using Dynamo to work on developing a Parametric Stadium is completed.
