1) Using Dynamo create a set of sinusoidal points and create a curve and create a surface out of the curve.

AIM : 

     To Using Dynamo create a set of sinusoidal points and create a curve and create a surface out of the curve.

INTRODUCTION : 

• Using Dynamo, you can work with enhanced BIM capabilities in Revit. Dynamo and Revit together can be utilized to model and analyze complex geometries, automate repetitive processes, minimize human error, and export data to Excel files and other file-types not typically supported by Revit
• Dynamos, usually driven by steam engines, were widely used in power stations to generate electricity for industrial and domestic purposes. They have since been replaced by alternators.
• Dynamo is an open source visual programming platform for designers. It is installed as part of Revit along with Revit specific programming nodes. To access Dynamo, click Manage tab Visual Programming panel Dynamo.

PROCEDURE : 

• Open the revit soft ware 
• Use the dynamo option in the manage tool bar
• After open the dynamo software, just use the search box for pick the wanted code boxes.
• Search the name integer and pick the integer slider 3 time. the image given below

 

        

 

• Set the integer slider value as 

            first slider       = 12

            second slider   = 600

            third slider      = 12

• Search the name range, and pick the range option
• And connect the first integer slider to start, second integer slider to end, third integer slider to step

 

        

 

• Search the point.by coordinate and select the coordinate 
• And the range (seq) connect to the point.by coordinate (x) value
• After connection this we can see the creation of dotted.

 

         

        

 

• Next type math.sin and connect the range seq to the angle, as shown below.
  Next type product connect sin to the x.

• Next type code block and rename it as amplifier and connect it to y of the product.

• Next type add and insert it and connect var of product to the x of add, as shown below.

• Next connect var of add to the y of the point bycoordinates.

• Next we type integer slider and give the minimum integer value as 20, and connect it to the y of add.

• Next type nurbscurve coordinate and insert it.

• Next connect point of point by coordinates to the points of nurbscurve coordinates, as shown in the below figure.

• Next again type integer slider and give the minimum integer value as 5, and connect it to the degree of nurbscurve bycontrolpoints, as shown below.

 

       

        

 

• Copy the group and paste
• Type the list create and insert 4 times
• After connecting the nurbscurve of all 4 boxes 
• finally the surface has been created

• Then select the conceptual mass

 

         

• Open the conceptual mass and select the metric mass then click ok.

          

• Go to the elevation view and create the level 10 feet 

 

         

        

• Now using the spline tool and draw the desired outline for the walkway

 

        

       

• Now, we have to create a profile to sweep through the curve.

• For this, we have to set the workplane at the points and develop a polygon at the workplane keeping the point as centre.

• Now, a polygon is developed with point as center.

• Similarly, workplane and polygon is developed at all the nodes.

 

      

      

• Now, we have to create the surface which done through sweep.

• For this, select all the polygons and the curve line and choose create form option

• Now, select the entire form and then filter and retain only the form.

 

       

       

• Now, select the form --> divide surface --> Then provide the pattern (triangle bent).

• Now, open a new family -->Curtain panel pattern based.

 

       

       

• Then, create a reference point at centre of the face.
• Then draw a circle of radius 3" at that reference point.
• Now, select the pattern, refrence plane and circle created and choose create form.
• Now, load this into the project.
• Now, select the entre form of the walkway and filter it to retain only the divided surface.
• Then in the pattern select the family that we havee created just now. Hence, the conceptual mass have been created
