I first started this model by creating a profile inside of revit that I could use within a 3 point adaptive component. This profile consists of 4 parameters that could be adjusted: height, width, interior height, and interior width. I brought this into an adaptive component at each end, and set it up such that each end’s parameters could be adjusted within dynamo. An example of a possible configuration of this profile is shown below.
I knew I wanted these components to act as columns for my structure, so I created 3 controlling curves for each wall of the structure. Additionally, I added a 7th line in the center of the structure. The curves on the roof were modeled as sin wave curves. I split the curves on each wall into points to place my columns. I then split the curves on the roof in order to place the rib elements. Thirdly, I split those rib elements into points to place panel elements. I wanted the structure to be more of cover for the rain rather than the sun. So, with this in mind, I chose panels with glazing, and modified the adaptive elements such that they had an almost translucent feel.
Parameters that can be changed:
- Structure Length
- Wall Heights on both sides
- Distance between walls at the base
- How far in the top of the first wall can be moved inwards into the structure
- Wave Number and Amplitude
- Number of Columns
- Adaptive Component Column: Height, Width, Interior Height, Interior Width on each end of the member
- Number of Rib Elements
- Number of Panel Points
