Then, share your Design Journal entry here including:

  • Screenshots of your building form geometry from each stage of the assignment that you completed:
    • For 2 or More Units: Creating Forms with Revit Conceptual Masses
      • Images/screenshots showing two variations of the input parameters for:
        • your flexing and testing one of the provided example building forms
        • your flexing and testing your new, original building form

Part 1, for the template provided, I decided to link the mid height to top height, and mid rotation to top rotation, with the golden ratio. This would provide a comfortable aesthetics at all time no matter how the shape change.

  • When height =800:

  • When height =400:

  • And I output the following with different top height:
Top Height

329617.0595
193423.6354
650
356941.1128

  • For the second part, I used the Twisting tower-3. But then, I insert a diamond shape family, which is use to replace the top and bottom chevron shape of the building. This successfully redefine the building:

What’s the advantage of exporting the values to Excel? Exporting data to Excel from Dynamo helps analyzing information better and makes it easier to share and organize data for projects.
