Autodesk University Extension Dubai 2015 My Class – The Middle East Vernacular in Revit
My first time in Autodesk University Extension Dubai, I was presenting a class about Islamic patterns. The Islamic patterns are the major design elements in the Middle East architecture. Whether […]
RTC Europe 2015 My Class – Work Points – Geometries – Coordinates – Schedules Part 3 – Placing Normals
We always come across with modeling elements normal to a surface. Can we report the coordinates of the ends of a normal and make the coordinates schedulable? Preparing Shared Parameters […]
RTC Europe 2015 My Class – Work Points – Geometries – Coordinates – Schedules Part 2 – Family Reports Coordinates
In common curtain panels created from dividing surface of a mass, how can we report the coordinates of the vertices of each panel and schedule them? Here is a solution. […]
RTC Europe 2015 My Class – Work Points – Geometries – Coordinates – Schedules Part 1 – Family by Work Points
My third RTC event in 2015 was in Budapest. The topic was initiated by a project in which the façade curtain wall units were so complicated in geometry that there […]
Islamic Ellipses
With the 3 points Adaptive Component creating a quarter of ellipse sweep as described in . . . Ellipse . . . Points, a pattern of overlapping ellipses or circles […]
. . . Ellipse . . . Points
Here comes a challenge of drawing an ellipse on a plane defined by 3 points and the ellipse should pass through 2 of the 3 points. With the ellipse drawn, […]
Happy July 4 With Captain America
Avengers continues. Captain America’s shield for July 4th. Seems like a simple modeling task, but actually there is quite a bit of geometry and mathematics involved. I tried to model […]
Curtain Wall vs. Curtain Pattern vs. Adaptive Component
Having a task of modeling a building façade with variation of openness of each unit, I found out there are 3 ways of doing the same task but with different […]
