These panels modeled with "extrusion" command in Grasshopper. Adaptive Family works like "sweep" command, because of this, panels move over the alignment.

Dynamo Study 2 - Facade Rationalization

This facade consists of the combination of a rectangle and a 8 sided star. This computational logic allows to study it in algorithmic environment.

Grasshoper Script

Facade Rationalization process have been done at Rhinoceros- Grasshopper. Optimization process forge ahead between facade consultant and designer.

I wanted to follow up all process in BIM environment step by step. I am looking for the differences between CAD & BIM environment in Rationalization process. Is BIM has an advantage during rationalization process for computational cases?

Initial Geometry

Main Horizontal Alignments

Surface normal disjointedness

Curve selection rule

Facade Trigon and Tetragon Paneling

It is certain that this topic has extended research area. I keep reading and continue to experiment about it.  I will create new titles based on them...

Thank you for reading.

Dynamo Study 1 - Coordination between ARCH&MEP

Architects are still modeling MEP equipment in their own architectural Revit model, even though it is a BIM project in order to be coordinated with MEP.  This method can also be argued to being not feasible, but was one I used for coordination in a Residential Building Project.

We have been modelling all ceiling equipment to manage ceiling layout on Architectural BIM models, like lighting, sprinklers, detectors..etc. Essentially Mechanic Engineers modelling these equipment into BIM model, because of that reason we had to check all equipment if they exist or are in the right location to be able to provide coordinated layout after every model share.

Following this, I decided to compare the equipment location between Architectural and MEP models with using Dynamo.

The first problem was architectural and MEP model's mismatches, Architect separating tower blocks and podium floors into different model files, MEP separating different mechanical systems (HVAC, Security System, Water Supply System, Fire Alarm...) into different model files. The reason, I had to link all the models into one model with using "Get elements From Linked Model" node , than catch the family centre points.

Ensuring tolerance despite small slip.

Second problem was the "shared coordinate data" which were different in all the BIM models. Accordingly, I manually transferred all points in each model to the same coordination point. 

Transfer the points to the Same Coordinate System

After transferring elements manually this problem solved in Dynamo Forum. There is a topic which is solved by Dimitar_Venkov It is explaining how to transfer linked elements to the "shared coordinate" location.

The link below will take you to the dynamo forum where I was helped to match close points in the model. I matched the points as you can see below in the excel sheet. If there was a point less than 1000mm away, dynamo wrote it down on the side column, if there was no point it left the side column empty. After that I could determine which location had the problem.

These clashes can be provided with this dynamo study and coordination has become easier.

Thank you for reading.

Dynamo - Visual Programing Tool of BIM

Dynamo is an open source visual programming platform for designers. Visual programing tools growing gradually to bring extensive ability to designers. Visual programing means designers make contribution to their work platform. 

ModeLab have just present the First Edition of the Dynamo Primer, a comprehensive guide to visual programming in Autodesk Dynamo Studio.This primer is an on-going project to share the fundamentals of programming. Topics include working with computational geometry, best practices for rules-based design, cross-disciplinary programming applications, and more with the Dynamo Platform.

• Context - What exactly is "Visual Progamming" and what are the concepts I need to understand to dive in to Dynamo?
• Getting Started - How do I get Dynamo and create my first program?
• What's in a Program - What are the functional parts of Dynamo and how do I use them?
• Building Blocks - What is "Data" and what are some fundamental types I can start using in my programs?
• Geometry for Design - How do I work with geometric elements in Dynamo?
• Lists, Lists, Lists - How to do I manage and coordinate my data structures?
• Code in Nodes - How can I start extending Dynamo with my own code?
• Computational BIM - How can I use Dynamo with a Revit model?
