PATTERN BASED SYSTEMS IN REVIT
“A pattern can be thought of as a set of constraints on
architecture – on the element types and their patterns of interactions – and
these constraints define a set or family of architectures that satisfy them.”
Pattern based system in rivet is the creation of a
curtain wall using a mapping tool that captures the functionality and
information of the area or space selected to create the chosen result. The
desired outcome should link with the design aspect and how the chosen pattern
impacts the structure.
The system has parameters that can be altered if needed
but are set to standards that have the correct specifications
The mapping tool creates a frame like structure were
finer details can be added such as the creation of a window or door frame and
textures can be added to show the outcome.
Simple steps to create a triangular curtain
wall: example
- Create the new pattern
component family for the curtain wall using the Curtain Panel Pattern
Based.rft as shown below using these values of 8m x 8m x 8m grid
subdivided by a 1m x 1m x 1m panel three or more times to achieve 1m
panels.
- Create simple conceptual
mass with rectangular extrusion with top profile twisted.
- Load the new pattern component family for the curtain wall mullion into the Revit Project containing the conceptual mass.
4. Apply a curtain wall pattern component family to the four faces of the conceptual mass and select divide surface and in the type selector, select the curtain wall component family.
5. After applying the pattern, this process results in normal memory and display performance especially when rotating the conceptual mass.
