Through this process, I realized the importance of number sliders (and ensuring the right range and settings for them) in parametric design. Additionally, while both software are slightly different, I found that they share similarities in logic (even though their specific functions to call may be different). For the ‘Eliminate the Echo’ task, I initially was facing difficulties as I had flattened one of the functions, leading to the sine curve height being applied to each row (rather than each individual cylinder). ‘Debugging’ this required tracing steps back one by one, and reinforced the importance of understanding our logic flow even as we were following the assignment’s instructions.
