Stage 1 - Part 1
Stage 1 - Part 2
For Stage 1 part 1, I modeled a structure akin to the Millenium Tower, except with a rounded triangle as the main profile instead of a rounded square. For the second part, I modeled a 3-point chevron tower, but I edited one of the nodes of the top profile to extend outward from the center as opposed to being depressed. This created a shape that effectively cantilevers over the recessed side of the base. I noticed that attempts to render this shape yielded errors for some values which produced extreme curvatures.
Point to Ponder: What’s the advantage of exporting the values to Excel? Exporting to Excel grants users greater flexibility to analyze different design versions across software. Additionally, it can allow other users across a company to see the relevant design information without needing to access the Revit or Dynamo models (which may sometimes require company tokens or may simply be too time-consuming).
