Adaptive Panel

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to model an adaptive component for a facade. This component is closing and opening due to sun rotation by a dynamo script. While the rotation problem seems to be solved, I can't parametrize the whole panel as if it should maintain its proportion whichever will be the grid dimension. I'll post the model (Revit 2019) to make you better understand what I mean. 

I'll be grateful for any feedback and please, correct me for any mistake I made in the model.

Are you sure the aperture is working properly?

Actually no, and this is one of the problem I can't solve. One solution will be to make the archs attached to the reference lines of the frame, but I can't. And, as well, I can't attach the void to those lines. It's becoming quite tricky....

Ok, I solved for the triangular panel attaching them to the reference lines, but still I can't do the same for the solid of the frame.

You are on the right track; however, you have 2 or 3 minor issue.

• The Voids - those you need to get rid off. They are useless in such construction.
• The Frame - if you intend to also close and open it, it would function better if you control its opening using the normalized curve (See Image below) instead of a length parameter / aligned dimension associated with the Panel Height 

 

• You could host the flanges on the diagonal and control its normalized cure to have it retract into the frame as it rotates (would be even better to model the flanges separately and nest them in)

• The rotating flanges seem to be ok (assuming your intent is to have them close/open @ 1-30 degrees min/max) However; you have to treat the frame and the rotating flanges as 2 separate entities and not both driven by angle Alfa (check screencast below...I removed the Frame formula and the flange operates as expected)
