- your flexing and testing one of the provided example building forms - I used “Parametric Tower - Twisting Rounded Triangular Mass - Constant Taper”. I made the Base Circle radius to automatically change based on the height (R = Height/2.4), I top circle is 0.8 times the base circle radius and the mid height is height/2.5. Then I used Dynamo to calculate gross floor area, surface area and volume for 8 scenarios for 400ft to 750ft height every fifty feet

- your flexing and testing your new, original building form: I formed a mass using a rectangular profiles at three reference planes, top, mid and base. The area of the floors taper up based on equation (top length - 1.4*base length and mid length = 1.2*base length. The twist angle is 45 degrees for the top circle and 22 degrees for the mid circle. The taper is a constant value and the mid point height is related to total height (total height/2.2). The same dynamo nodes for the above scenario was used to flex the form using the height variable.

- TO PONDER QUESTIONS:.
Data Manipulation and Analysis: Excel offers powerful tools like pivot tables, data filtering, and conditional formatting that allow for more in-depth analysis and summation of the gross surface area values.
Custom Reports: You can generate customized reports and visualizations in Excel to communicate surface area data effectively to stakeholders who may not be familiar with Dynamo or Revit software.
Data Integration: Exporting to Excel allows you to integrate surface area data with other project data that might be maintained in spreadsheets, providing a more comprehensive view of project metrics.
Flexibility in Analysis: Excel allows you to easily compare surface area data across different project versions or to benchmark them against other metrics to inform decision-making.
