- For 3 or More Units: Transforming Your Geometry
For this part, I created a “nook” structure that is meant for a bit of shelter and privacy in parks. The sides have triangular surfaces (seen lightly on the picture) for some extra shade/sound capture. The width and height is changeable and the number of beams depends on the width of the structure. The number of adaptable panels is also customizable. It was a little tricky because the structure is small, so small shifts in parameters has a relatively big impact.
The modeling approach here was replacing the middle line of the curve with a sine wave, placing beam components and panels that adapt to the width and length of the structure as well as are controllable for number of beams/panels via integer sliders. The ideal shape (middle image) was in my opinion with a higher number of wave defining points, somewhere around 4 waves, and an amplitude of 8-10. This is because of the small size of my structure.
I was able to recreate my original structure when changing the number of waves and/or the amplitude of the waves to 0.
