Parametric Design - Shanghai Natural Historical Museum - Part 2





I am going to continue to create the model of Shanghai Natural Historical Museum. Last time, I create the facade in Revit and this time I am going to use dynamo to create a more random pattern.





First, the model created previously was used to get the coordinate of the facade points. Those coordinates will be generated by dynamo and stored in an Excel file.




Then, by manipulating those coordinates, random shapes can be made. Cautious shoulX, and Y value should be kept because of the curvature of the wall. In the previous project, an 3-layer adaptive family was used to create the facade, because in Revit, the divided surface can only be applied with 1 adaptive family.


However, after I changed the value of those coordinates and generated the adaptive elements, those elements conflicted with each other at those connection points.



So I separated the family into 3 sub-families and created them individually in Dynamo (the interior structural bar was created in Revit not Dynamo) with different coordinates Excel sheets. This give me more flexibility and less conflicts.

 


Using Dynamo, we can create several adaptive families on the same wall to achieve the effect that we want.
