Stage 1 Part 1
My steps for this assignment. First I built the arc shaped wall with 4 inputs. Raduis, start and end angle, and height. Next was creating the panels using panel.quad and inputing family. Lastly converting the image to pixels and mapping was the hardest part. Image was reversed and upside down. So I had to play with List.reverse to get it right.
Stage 1 Part 2
I had alot of trouble creating this sunflower. First I started making the S curve wall with 4 slider, height, length, wave, and amplitude. Then using x y point coordinate to absorb that date. In the beginning I had used x y z and it took 2 hours of redoing and debugging to find this because my image wasn’t mapping. Next it was similar to map as part 1, but once again it was flipped but differently this time. So I had to use transpose and inverse. Creating the panels were the similar to part 1. And then lastly mapping.

Stage 2 Sun screenshots at two different times
2 pictures shown here at two different times. Yellow shows the sun shining on the surface, and blue is the shadow. Wanted to do something extra. I made the top and the bottom different sizes. So I created them using surface by patch and surface by perimeter curve. They are all adjustable through 5 slider panels. Creating the solar panels was a bit hard because I ended up using a list. flatten to fix some issues. Set the integer rotation to 3. Next, adjust panels using custom nodes to follow the sun. Lastly, using color mapping and custom nodes to highlight the sunny areas and dim areas. A big issue for me was how Dynamo and Revit worked. Because I ran a version of Dynamo, it would load a building (with the wrong colors), then if I ran it correctly, the old building sometimes stayed and made me think the new design was wrong.
