2 Unit Design Basic Bustop
3 Unit Design Buss top with curved columns
I wanted to build a bus stop that can be parametrically be adjusted. I started with creating 3 points (base, mid, and top) for a left column. Then it gets copied for the right column. Using the midpoint of the column a roof by surface is created and tied to the top column point so the top column will automatically adjust to the waving roof. Then I tied all theses skeleton structure lines to families to create the physical structure. All parameters I can change are: number of columns, its height, the width of both columns, curvature of both column and roof. Also created limits for my sliders that break the project.
For the extra points and 3rd unit I created (in purple) to adjust the column to become curved. The curved columns can be adjusted by using the frequency slider. Using the correct number a gate can be created for the bus stop.
