Modeling a Parametric Structure:
My modeling process involved first generating a sketch of what I wanted the model to look like and how it could potentially change to allow for the parametric integration. I then started by modeling the roof aspects of the structure, added in the beams. and lastly added in the columns. I adjusted these variables as needed to ensure they could adapt with the remainder of the structure. This structure is essentially an adjustable curved roof with 4 exterior columns supporting it. There are additionally beams placed along the length of the roof which also contribute to controlling the geometry. The parameters that can be adjusted include the length of the structure, the number of beams, the control points of the roof structure, the base height of the structure, and the width of the structure. The number of panels can also be adjusted longitudinally and transversely.
