Divide and Conquer Adaptive Components in Revit v2013 Tim Waldock PTW
Introduction Topics: New ways to create Repetitive patterns on surfaces Creating regularised organic shapes Tools: New “Divide Path” on lines, arcs New “Repeat” command on divided paths and surfaces Adaptive components used in projects Trigonometry Examples: Reactor pattern as repeater Reactor pattern on curved surface Star Pattern Adaptive Component as Repeater Arc-based Repeating Modules
Divide Path What is a Divided Path? Limitations • Where • Path types Number of nodes Node visibility
Repeater Pattern What is a Repeater? How to create a repeater Limitations • Where • What • Setout • Dissolve
Repeater Pattern Repeater types Single Multiple Multiple hosts Repeater variations Alternating repeaters Overlapping repeaters
Hosted Adaptive Components Number of adaptive points How to host points Multiple points Multiple hosts Nested Components
Single Point Repeaters Single pattern repeaters
Single Point Repeaters Multiple Repeater Patterns
Single Point Repeaters Multiple Component Repeaters
Two Point Repeaters Two point adaptive components as repeaters – on single divided host
Two Point Repeaters Two point adaptive components as repeaters – on multiple divided hosts
Two Point Repeaters Two point adaptive components as repeaters – on point & surface hosts
Repeater Hosts Divided Path Divided Surface Control Point
Repeater Elements Adaptive Components One Point AC Two Point AC Three Point AC
Repeater 1 - Reactor 3 Point AC Host Surface + Control Point
Alternating Repeater - Reactor 3 Point AC 2 types
Repeater 2 – Curved Facade 4 Point adaptive component 3 points on adjacent nodes, 1 on control point Normal to point 1
Repeater 3 - Inspiration Fifth Clime – by Hashim Ali
Repeater 3 – Adaptive Star 1 Point Adaptive Component 2 hosted circles 2 Divide paths 6 Points 12 Points 12 Lines 3D snapping 1 Star • 1 Rectangle • 1 Selection • 1 Solid Star
Repeater 3 – Star Proportion Radius proportion parameter Inside to outside radius Check
Repeater 3 - Host Divided Surface 60 & 30 degrees
Repeater 3 - Host Grid spacing Star radius parameter
Repeater 3 – Pattern Variations Proportion Value
Repeater 3 – Variations - 2 point star 2 Adaptive points Reporting Length Proportion Sinewave calculation
Repeater 3 – Variations - 2 point star 4 point Adaptive host 30 & 60 degrees Fixed Distance • Repeater • Flex point
Repeater 4 - Inspiration Octopus Hotel
Repeater 4 – Repeated Module Hotel rooms + • Curvilinear plans • = • . . . . . . .
Repeater 4 - Module Divide Path & Repeat nesting, shared families, linking of parameters, controlling x,y,z rotation of nested components controlling orientation of nested components when adaptive points move, repeater patterns
Repeater 4 – Module Start simple Test the process Add complexity Line-based
Repeater 4 - Host Create Rig Length Radius Divide Path
Repeater 4 – Host the Module Host Orientation Flip
Repeater 4 - Repeater Repeat Flex Parameters
Repeater 4 – Double Repeater Host again Reverse direction Repeat again Delete 2nd repeater Divide Path again Different spacing Host again Repeat again
Repeater 4 – Alternating Repeaters Delete repeaters Host – alternate nodes Create new type Host – alternate nodes Repeat again Create 2 new types Host – alternate nodes Repeat again
Repeater 4 – Tapered Module Edit the room module Trigonometry
Repeater 4 – Tapered Repeater Reload room module Concave / Convex Materials / Colour
Repeater 4 – Corridor Component Adaptive Component Nested Line-based Overlap room modules
Repeater 4 – Area Calculations Edit the room module Segment area Check calculations
Repeater 4 – Schedules Load into Project Create schedule
Repeater 4 – Node visibility In project – nodes are visible In family: Path Representation
Repeater 4 – Error Checking Arc repeater component Error check for radius V2013 flex bug
Repeater 4 – Double Curve Adaptive 3 point adaptive components Nested adaptive
Divide & Repeat – Summary Divide Path Divide Surface Repeat “Array for adaptive components”
