For 2 or More Units: Creating Forms with Revit Conceptual Masses
Part 1: Your flexing and testing one of the provided example building forms
For Stage 1 part 1, I used the template of Shanghai Tower with a adjusted height upto 750’, and edited the Dynamo functions to report both “Top Height” with its corresponding “Gross Floor Area” with 6 iterations as below charts illurstrates:
The parameters that can be used to flex and dynamically change the builidng form including:
- The Top Height of the buildling
- The radius of the base
- The raduis of the top
For the purpose of iteration, I adjusted Top Height as a variable, observing and recording how other parameters dynamically change.
Part2: Your flexing and testing your new, original building form
For Stage 1 part 2, I adjusted the Template-Twisting Tower-3 Profiles by replacing the base, mid, and top profiles with customed profiles. More specifically, I used RoundedTriangleProfile with respective raduis of 150’, 180’, and 150’ from top to the base profiles. Furthermore, the Top Height is adjusted with 6 iterations, starting from 350’ as showing below:
The parameters that can be used to flex and dynamically change the builidng form including:
- The Top Height of the buildling
- The radius of the base, mid and top profiles
- The rotation of base, mid, and top profiles
For the purpose of iteration, I adjusted Top Height as a variable, observing and recording how other parameters dynamically change.
