Please include:
- A screenshot of your model geometry from each part of the assignment that you completed:
- For 2 or More Units: Modeling a Parametric Structure
- For 3 or More Units: Transforming Your Geometry
- For 4 Units: Appyling Your Form at Different Scales
- A few sentences describing your modeling approach
- A brief description of your design outlining the parameters that can be used to flex and dynamically change your structure
The general steps of modeling:
- I used three sliders to define the basic dimensions of points based on variables x, y and z;
- Then 5 lines are created based on points created before, with five lines arranged paralleled with each other in a space, which will be the main structure for future modeling;
- A list of vertices are created with List Create function, and then then Surface.ByLoft function is used to turn it into a piece of solid rooftop;
- A set of grids are created with Surface.PointAtParameter function, and further flattened a list of dots;
- The adaptive panel downloaded is used within Family Types to fill grids with resizable panels;
- To create supporting ribs for the shelter, two lists of List Create functions are firstly used, and then transposed into a pairwise lists with only two points paired with each, which will be further used for building rib structures.
- The Tube component was also downloaded, and used with AdaptiveComponent.ByPoint to create four ribs in the Revit interface.
The design outlines the parameters that can be used to flex and dynamically change structure:
- The integer sliders used for initial footprint dimension with x, y, z parameters defined are used to flex and dynamically change structure of the entire shelter. By adjusting one of these three parameters, the shelter will be either stretched and shrinked, or elevated taller or shorted with supporting ribs also changed accordingly.
