Module 5
In this part I took the tower from the module and modified it by adding another parameter by swapping out the family for the second level and added a 4th level to better control the lofted geometry of the building. I also changed the family type for the second elevation with a triangle, to add variety in the overall geometry Then I set the project location to San Ramon, under the manage tab.
I then transferred the results for Floor Area and Surface Area to excel following the steps from the module:
And lastly, I added a third parameter to the evaluation to calculated Gross Volume of the building.
In this logic, we are flexing the top height, where as it is also possible to flex the following parameters: Top Rotation Radius, Top Radius of geometry (increasing or decreasing triangle family). Mid Rotation radius, Mid height, and Base rotation and radius.
