Dalton Schroller Architecture

  PROJECT 1: Building Design Utilizing Parameters in Revit I began by first creating a new parametric massing family in revit. I placed a reference point in order to control the masses movement in the x and y direction and then created some instance parameters to constrain the masses height, width and length. I utilized a formula of X – width /2 and X + width / 2 for my x1 and x2 paraments and a formula of Y – length / 2 and Y + length / 2 for my y1 and y2 parameters I then loaded the mass into a project file and began placing multiple masses into their correct position by imputing the correct values for their x and y directional constraints as well as the values for their height, width and length parameters. All of these masses have varying positions, and sizes, but they are all positioned around one center mass in the middle, which will eventually be my auditorium. I then needed to create my building envelope or skin. To do this I created a new Curtain panel pattern based family. I c
