We’re sorry for the last minute notice but if you’re still figuring out your plans for tomorrow night, think about joining CASE’s Alan Jackson as he presents “Revit MEP Good Practices/Lessons Learned” at the Pratt Manhattan Center on 144 W 14th Street at 6:00pm.

3-6 Trimming Lists

admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 06:47:35 +0000

To fine tune the geometry of the pavilion we manipulate the lists we already defined. In this video we trim the end of the geometry to end with both sides of the pavilion in symmetry. Lists are an important tool and concept to learn to manipulate data and drive geometry efficiently.

Main Topics:

Lists

Trimming Lists

Shifting Lists

3-5 Revolve Surface

admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 06:38:37 +0000

After the curve geometry of the pavilion is established we revolve it into a surface. Here we discuss how to create a surface using the revolve method and issues to consider. The curve structure and form can still be toggled with the inputs already set up.

3-4 Controlling Vectors and Tangents

admin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 06:24:36 +0000

With the PolyArc set up, we can adjust the geometry dramatically by setting a new tangent vector. In this video we discuss tangent vectors and how to control them.

Tangents

Stretching the Series and Polyarc

3-3 PolyArc from Series

admin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 06:21:11 +0000

Once the series of points is set up, we create a curve of continuous polyarcs through them. The radius and direction of these arcs can be changed, along with the base series of points we already created. These arcs, connected together will be revolved into the surface of the Pavilion.
