Please include a brief overview of each of the models you’ve created. Each project overview should include:
  • A screenshot of your finished model geometry
    • Walk in the Park - an image of the Dynamo geometry
    • Eliminate the Echo - an image of the Rhino geometry
    • Happy Facade - an image of the Revit wall
  • A few sentences describing your modeling approach
  • The link to your Module 2 folder in our Autodesk Construction Cloud project.

Walk in the Park Dynamo Geometry:

The modeling approach involved first creating the grids using a code block to define the start and end points of the range and a slider to define the step size. Then the x and y ranges were connected to a point.bycoordinates block and flattened to create the grids. Next a cuboid by length was created to define the geometry, these were grouped. Next, the attractor point was created using sliders for the position, this is where the sine wave would stem from. Once the geometry was set the height of each cuboid was used using a code block that determined height based on the sine function. Lastly, the cuboids were moved up to make sure they were not intersected by the x-y axis. I used a combination of built in dynamo properties and sliders and code blocks to simplify the process.
