  • A brief description of your design outlining the parameters that can be used to flex and dynamically change your building form

After adjusting the size parameters of the mass model, such as width and depth, in Revit to meet the required floor area, I used Dynamo to modify the model's height and top rotation to generate the tables.

  • Point to Ponder: What’s the advantage of exporting the values to Excel?

Compared to adjusting parameters in Revit, observing changes in model size, floor area, and surface area, exporting area information obtained from scanning different parameters into an Excel spreadsheet via Dynamo allows for a more visual comparison of data. This process helps determine which parameter setting is the optimal choice.
