Above are my 2 Unit Part 1 and Part 2. They have similar dynamo files which lets me select a model element. Then using set parameter by name and setup parameter by value, I created values that can be adjusted: angles, building height, base width, base depth, top width, and top depth. The few parameters I decided to flex were angle, base width, and top depth. I inputed pictures 1 - 6 (left to right). For my stage 2 part 1 I decided to make a custom shape a two circle that create a figure 8. I wanted to see how a base with a curved parameter would flex.
For my 3 unit homework assignment I created a building with a star shaped base, mid section, and top. After connecting the 3 stars to create a mass it is imported to Revit. The star is most sharp and defined when the outer radius and inner radius is larger. Within dynamo the levels are created and the floor areas, surface areas, and gross volumes are spit out. As you can see when the base radius are flexed the star shape is more/less promanate and the flex curves the structure left or right.
FOR EXTRA CREDIT and simplicity I created a custom node (attached in my file) to create these 3 stars.
The parameters for this tower includes
- Base Star
- Inner and Outer Radius
- Mid Star
- Inner and Outer Radius
- Top Star
- Inner and Outer Radius
- Height, Twist Angle
AGAIN FOR EXTRA CREDIT
Decided to flex more than 2 aspects (highlighted in red) and created cool shapes.
