PARAMETRIC ENVELOPE

Parametric Envelope

The parametric envelope consists of two levels of family:

1. Panel Family:

a. Create a new family using the Curtain Panel Pattern Based template and select the Triangle (Flat) pattern.
b. Use the Create Solid Form tool to design the geometry of the panel and frame.
c. Set the parameters for Frame Radius and Panel Thickness, then associate their materials with new Family Parameters so that they can be edited in the next level, the Envelope Family.

2. Envelope Family:

a. Create a new family using the Conceptual Mass template. Draw the profile based on the desired shape of the envelope and use Create Solid Form to model it.
b. Divide the surface and select the previously created Triangle (Flat) Panel family as the pattern for the division.
At this level, the panel parameters from the previous level can be modified by using the Edit Type option in the Properties Tab. Additionally, the division pattern can be modified by changing the U Grid and V Grid settings under the Properties Tab.

PARAMETRIC MASS – CANOPY

PARAMETRIC MASS – CANOPY To achieve the parametric design of the canopy, it is necessary to start with the dimensions and positional relationships of the modules that make up the canopy. Each module consists of a roof and a tree-shaped column, and there are dimensional relationships and constraints between these two components as well. Thus, the parametric canopy is structured into three levels of families: Column Family – Module Family – Canopy Family . 1. Column Family: 1.1 Four-pronged Columns Family: a. Using the Column Template , rather than a Mass Template, since mass cannot be designated as structural components in the Revit project. b. The profile of one branch of the column is drawn on a vertical reference plane. The profile includes the following parameters: Lower Part Height : The height of the column's vertical section. Lower Part Height Outer = Column Height - 600 : The outer height of the vertical section. Upper Part Height : The height of the column’s in

  PARAMETERS DIAGRAM Parameter Types It is worth noting that all parameters related to the properties of the columns, roof, modules and canopies themselves are set as type parameters, while all parameters related to the distances and angles between families are set as instance parameters. Parameter Association Key type parameters from the Column Family and Module Family need to be associated with the Canopy Family . This allows for modifications to these parameters directly in the Canopy Family without the need to enter and modify each lower-level family multiple times.
