1, First of all, I need to find the ID value of the mass family instance.
2, I need to find the IDs of the curtain panels

 3.In API programming, I use a single parameter "season"to change the color of the panel.

ARCH653 PROJECT1


My project is to build a parametric BIM model of shipping and transport college

Back ground

The building is not only because of its location and view closely related to the Rotterdam port and shipping. The building shape is also similar to a periscope. Furthermore in the interior, with the use of maritime materials and the many references made to the shipping in the detailing.

The building consists of an almost rectangular core, a sixteen-storey tower, where above and below a sculptural extension is applied. The substructure has three layers of general functions: the entrance, the central hall, an exhibition space, gymnasiums, a large cafeteria, a café and a bookshop and further workshops and simulation areas. The student cafeteria with terrace has a large window towards the river. In the basement two parking levels and a bicycle storageroom are located. The tapered shape at the top is a lecture hall. This hall for 350 persons has a large window on the west side overlooking the port. The hall is also used as a conference room.

The concrete core gives stability, the rest of the structure is prefabricated concrete. In the overhang a steel construction is used. Part of the building is supported by a meandering structure of welded steel tubes filled with concrete. The lecture hall is a prefabricated steel structure and attached to the core by four large steel trusses. The facade consists of a checkerboard pattern of blue and white corrugated aluminum panels or glass. The elements are 3.60 to 3.80 meters. The rugged facade refers to containers, important to the harbor of Rotterdam.

 

In the mass, I build the building with some reference lines,

Window families.
 




Almost every facades of the building cover by curtain system. Because some surface of the facade cannot be divided in horizontal line, I have to draw reference lines myself and than intersection with surface where I want to create grid. I build the curtain  base on a curtain panel  pattern base. And add some parameters to control the family better.

BIM model

After loading mass into project, I found there is no floors in the building. That is due to family is not a solid geometry but several surface. I copy several level reference lines in east elevation. And also we need to use the lines to create floor.



 

Renderings

In the project I create a surface as the footprint of the building and stick grass pictures as the material  of surface.


Critics

In my opinion, REVIT combine the function of sketchup AutoCAD. We can use it as a good design software.
