Approach

Steps to Complete

‣

Stage 1: Creating Forms with Revit Conceptual Masses (for 2 or more units)

‣

Stage 2: Creating Forms with Dynamo or Grasshopper Geometry (for 3 or more units)

‣

Stage 3: Summarizing the Testing Results (for 4 units only)

Submit

Please create a folder named “Module 5” within your personal folder in our Autodesk Construction Cloud project.
Create a folder for each stage of the assignment that you’ve completed that includes:

Your Revit project (.RVT) file and Dynamo graph (.DYN) file for each stage of the assignment.
Or, your Grasshopper (.GH) file for each stage of the assignment.
The summary tables (created in Word, Excel, Google Sheets, or any data table tool) showing the input values tested and the values computed for each of the reported parameters.

💡

Be sure to include any custom nodes that your graph depends on.

Then, copy all of the files in this folder to your Module 5 folder on Autodesk Construction Cloud using the ACC web interface.

💡

Please the following naming convention for your uploaded files: "#ofUnits_NameAndLastName_Module#_Stage#". For example: 4units_SampleStudent_Module5_Stage1.rvt

Create a link to your Module 5 folder:

Right-click on the Module 5 folder in the file tree (at the left side of the interface) and choose Share from the pull-down menu.
Choose Share with Project Members, then switch to the Link tab.
Click the Copy button to copy the link to your clipboard.

Create a new posting on this Notion page — Design Journal Entry: Flex Your Form — including:

Screenshots of your building form geometry from each stage of the assignment that you completed:

For 2 or More Units: Creating Forms with Revit Conceptual Masses

Images/screenshots showing two variations of the input parameters for:

your flexing and testing one of the provided example building forms
your flexing and testing your new, original building form

For 3 or More Units: Creating Forms with Dynamo or Grasshopper Geometry

Images/screenshots showing two variations of the input parameters for your new building form created with Dynamo or grasshopper

For 4 Units: Summarizing the Testing Results

An image of your summary table showing the test results highlighting the maximum and minimum values found

A brief description of your design outlining the parameters that can be used to flex and dynamically change your building form
