Revit 2023 - Generative Design - Maximum Building Envelope

Hi everyone, 

 

i'm trying to approach - finally! - Generative Design in Revit.

 

I saw a video from an architectural firm that used generative design to determine the maximum height of a concept mass according to the building code.

In the image you can see a yellow inclined plane: that is because in Milan your building must be inside a building envelope which is determined by an inclined plan of 60° starting from the base of every building surrounding your plot.

 

How is it possible to do in Revit??

Thanks in advance

 

Best regards

I'm not clear why you would need Generative Design to find the maximum allowable height for your building.  If you know the distance between the centerline of your property and closest surrounding buildings, then you know the height.  Here's a parametric Mass Pyramid the help you calculate and visualize the planes in the Project.
