Parametric Modeling Workflows

Parametric Modeling Workflows

The basic workflow that we'll be following for modeling parametric structures is:

  • Step 1: Create Controlling Geometry
    • Geometry that responds to high level parameters
      • Curves / Lines
      • Surfaces
  • Step 2: Subdivide the Controlling Geometry to create Placement Points
    • Curves
      • Points along Curves by Parameters
    • Surfaces
      • Nodes and Edges by UV Grid
  • Step 3: Use the Placement Points to place Model Elements
    • Ribs / Beams
      • Dynamo: Adaptive Components
      • Grasshopper: Sweeps
    • Panels
      • Dynamo: Adaptive Panels
      • Grasshopper: Panels
