This is the shape and structure of my shelter design. It is used for bus stop and people and sit or stay under the shelter to wait for bus or taxi. I use four curves and byloft function to produce the whole surface for the shelter. And these curves are divided into two groups and each groups of curves have different parameters so that it can be used in different scenerios. The smaller shelter is for children and some disabled and people can sit in this area and big one is for adults and families and other situation. I also add beams which are the columns for support and divide the whole structure into three areas.
So how do I can this:
I first create two curve with node Arc.bycenterpointRadiusAngle and set different radius, angle change range and center points. Then I use translate node to create another two curves and use these four curves to produce a surface with node surface.byloft. I then create points on the surface to panelize it and use these points to add panels on the surface. What I use is the rectangular panel with glazing opening. And then I change the bottom three lines of the panels to solid rectangular panels.
After the surface panelizing, I then try to add the beams. I set the points I want to connect on the surface again with the same previous node. They are 4*4 lists. Then I set four fixed points and pairs them with the points on the surface. In this step I use many methods such as create list, transpose, get starting and ending points and so on. And then with the two points on a line, I use adaptivecomponents node to add the column on it and get the final result.
