Kinetic Panel | SunPath Dynamo Algorithm Script

Part 1. SunPath Algorithm and Family setting

SunPath - Dynamo Algorithm
Generating Template : "New Conceptual Mass" > "Mass.rfa"


Compare the angle
[Reference view & Dynamo script]

Part 2. Adapt family and Make dynamic on flat surface

2-Axis-Rotation-Panel

MockupPanel - Sundiagram

Part 3. Adapt family on unformed surface grid

Dynamo Script - Changed Azimuth_angle Algorithm

* Keywords & Cautions
1. One of the methodology that can extract the geometrical based angle of the Sun
2. After extracting, turn on the sun-path and setting location, date and time.
3. In Dynamo, Using sunsetting.current Node, we can load into dynamo the setting value of the family in revit
4. Two-Axis-Rotation-Panel
- 1/3 curtain pattern based
- Rotation angle, Azimuth angle will be hosted on the center of reference line which is connected from reference point no.1 to reference point no.4
5. Dynamo Script : Rotation angle and Azimuth angle should be the Radian value, so we should have to change the algorithm
6. To adapt family on the unformed surface, we have to set the Azimuth angle value

Scheduling | Managing Schedule using Dynamo

Schedules on Sheets This node will query all schedules in your project and create two lists. One list will contain all schedules that are currently placed on sheet(s) and one list with schedules that have not yet been placed on sheet(s). Keep in mind that Revision Table built into a Titleblock is really a schedule and will display on the list of schedules on sheets. It might even create more than one instance of such. Schedule Appearance This node allows you to modify schedule appearance settings. Due to my limited Revit API knowledge for now you can only override Title, Header and Body Text type by feeding it an id of a Text Type that you want to use. Use, Get Text Note Type by Name from the archi-lab package to get the appropriate text style. Schedule Formatting This node will allow you to control schedule formatting. Just like in the Revit UI you can control some basic visibility settings per parameter (column) in a schedule. Parameter inputs are: Schedule – thi

1. Extracting 'Panel Instance Value' & 'SunSetting Instance Value', Albahar_SunScript.dyn 2. South View, 3D View, Shadow View 3. In Case of Adjusting to semi-Sphere Order of Albahar_SunScript 1. Make Family 'Albahar_Panel.rfa' 2. Start with 'Mockup-Panel.rfa' or 'Mockup-Panel_Origin' (Upload Panel family) 3. Open Dynamo API 'Albahar_SunScript.dyn' ====================================================== 4. According to the Sun Location, Panel will be changed the feature by the opening proportion  * Opening Proportion = Normalized_Curve_Parameter

SAP2000 - Read_Edit_AddLoadCase Overview DynamoSAP is an open-source project and is currently available on Dynamo’s package manager . We developed the project in C# using Visual Studio, and tested it with Dynamo 0.7.5 and SAP2000 version 16. The package prescribes a few common workflows, which are outlined in the package’s sample files. The library provides a wide range of opportunities for automation of typical tasks in SAP, such as: a. Creating a structural model. The package allows users to generate structural members by using th
