Please include:
- A screenshot of your model geometry from each part of the assignment that you completed:
- For 2 or More Units: Modeling a Parametric Structure
- For 3 or More Units: Transforming Your Geometry
- For 4 Units: Appyling Your Form at Different Scales
- A few sentences describing your modeling approach
- My goal for this was to create a sunroof that people could stay under as they are walking or waiting for a bus/train. I wanted to create an elevated roof and then support posts that could support it. I created a range of points and a duplicate copy which had been translated in the z direction and these were the foundation of my design. For the first part of the assignment, I did so with a line. However, for the next part of the assignment, I used a code block to create a sine wave instead. I also tried multiple different roof approaches trying to learn new node blocks along the way. I struggled quite a bit along the way trying to find output/input compatibility between blocks.

For the first part of the project I have the following inputs:
the length controls the x distance length of the whole path. The roof width determins how far the roof extends. The height determines the height of the top point of the roof off the ground. The roof end height determinesthe height of the lowest point of the roof. Num posts determines how many posts they are. Pole radius determines the radius of the post. And finally roof thickness controls how thick the roof is.
For the next part of the assignemnt, I changed my geometry to have slightly different inputs
Length, height, num posts, roof thickness, and pole radius are all the same as before. Amplitude controls the amplitude of the wave. Waveslider controls how many waves are formed. The roof extension slider controls how far the roof extends past the center point (full extend so includes both directions).
