Scene optimizer for 3ds Max
Scene optimizer is a simple and easy to use maxscript plugin that utilizes the ProOptimizer feature of 3ds Max to reduce the geometrical complexity of selected items based on their distance from a specified camera (or any other object for that matter). Scene optimizer can be used in a number of scenarios, but it’s particularly…
Scale Calculator for architectural drawings
Hello and welcome to this blog post. As an architect it’s always been a challenge to quickly and easily determine the scale of a CAD drawing or to change it to a new one. thus I have programmed a little application called Scale Calculator which addresses that very problem. It’s not extremely polished but I’ve…
Progress reporting plugin for Revit
hello and welcome to this blog post! today we’re going to explore some of the tools that are exposed to us through the Revit API (Application programming interface), in order to create a simple yet effective progress tracking addin that can help the team leaders and project managers to better supervise the overall design and…
Animating almost anything in Revit using Dynamo.
As amazing as Autodesk Revit is for modeling and documenting a building, there is no question of the fact that it’s not exactly the strongest when it comes to animation. in this tutorial, we’ll go over a few techniques within Dynamo that will allow us to animate “almost” anything in Revit. now I should also…
Kinetic Facade design, with the ability to responds to solar exposure.
with the latest technological advancements in the field of smart building and kinetic architecture, today we’re able to design and document and erect buildings that are not only aware of their surrounding climactic and geographical context, but are in fact able to analyze and intelligently respond to those factors by a variety of ways, including…
Organic elevation design from image file using dynamo and Revit
In the previous blog post, we touched upon an interesting idea by creating a parametric facade generator that had the ability to analyse an Image file and then convert it’s pixel data into a usable form. which would later be used to determine the overall look of an architectural facade. in that project we used…
Parametric facade design from Image file using Revit and dynamo
In this blog post we’re going to use some fundamental Revit and Dynamo skills as well as a builtin Dynamo image processing library to create a workflow that converts an ordinary image into an amazing architectural facade in a matter of minuets (or even seconds depending on your hardware). we’re going to be using curtain…
