Family orientation

Hi there!

I'm currently working on a relatively simple facade to attach to my building.

I've created a continuous surface that surrounds the building and I've used LunchBox Diamond panel to subdivide the surface and collect the points of the surface.

The adaptive family I have is a panel pattern based family. A simple square with a bubble effect on the panel that rises at the center point.

The problem I have encountered is the center point that rises on the Z axis only successfully worked on two faces on the surface.

Note: if I create an in place massing and subdivide the surface to the panel pattern family, the orientation is correct on all faces. However, it diminishes the design intent.

For example: given a box, the left (east) and right (west) face of the box have worked correctly with the bubble going outward away from the building. However the bottom (south) and top (north) come out to be flat, no bubble. I believe the bubble is still "occurring" but the bubble is going parallel with the face, making the panel flat to that face.

I believe the issue is the orientation of this family not being placed perpendicular to the surface.

I did some searching around and I've found the problem may be in the family I created not being hosted correctly. Is there a work around in Dynamo to implement an orientation path so the each panel bubble is going outward and perpendicular to the surface of its placement?

Appreciate your time

Thanks!

Can you copy paste a surface with the flat bubbles to a new file and share it?

I do not understand your workflow, so posting the file would help. But, if I had to guess at the cause of your issue, I’d say it has something to do with your Adaptive Points “Orients to” parameter value.

  1. You say the family is adaptive and it is a pattern based...those are two different family which use two different family templates and which behave differently. So which are you exactly using? For the first you need placement nodes for the second you simply apply to pattern.
  2. You can use Dynamo cor that purpose but you do not need it basically. And definitely not useful when the component itself is not modeled properly. Dynamo can't fix a panel which is broken already
