In this Dynamo modeling approach for Revit, we focused on creating a dynamic and visually engaging representation of a park area by implementing a ripple effect across a grid of cuboids. I began by establishing a grid of points using sliders to control spacing, upon which cuboids are placed. Each cuboid's height is dynamically determined by its distance to a central attractor point, using a mathematical sine function to simulate undulating ripples. The heights are further modulated by parameters such as the number of waves, amplitude, and a base height, ensuring all cuboids remain above ground level.
To maintain visual coherence and uniformity in the base elevation of all cuboids, each is vertically adjusted so that despite varying heights, their bases align consistently at the same level. This was achieved by calculating half the height of each cuboid and using this value to shift them vertically, ensuring their centers remain at their grid placement points. The model is designed to allow real-time adjustments through sliders, providing immediate visual feedback and enabling easy customization of the ripple effect's appearance and dynamics.
