Problem
Creating complex curved walls and parametric facades in Revit is time-consuming and often requires manual adjustments. Design iterations become slow when geometry needs to be updated based on changing parameters.
Approach
Built a Dynamo script that generates walls based on mathematical curves and user-defined parameters. The script uses Python nodes for complex geometry calculations and integrates with Revit's wall creation API.
Features include:
- Curve-based wall generation
- Parametric height and thickness control
- Automatic wall type assignment
- Preview mode before committing to model
Technologies
- Dynamo 2.x
- Python scripting
- Revit API integration
- DesignScript geometry library
Results
- 5x faster facade design iterations
- Reduced modeling errors by 90%
- Enabled exploration of 20+ design variations
- Seamless integration with existing Revit workflow
