Introduction
Topics:• New ways to create Repetitive patterns on surfaces• Creating regularised organic shapesTools:• New “Divide Path” on lines, arcs• New “Repeat” command on divided paths and surfaces• Adaptive components used in projects• TrigonometryExamples:• Reactor pattern as repeater• Reactor pattern on curved surface• Star Pattern Adaptive Component as Repeater• Arc-based Repeating Modules
Divide Path
• What is a Divided Path?
• Limitationso Whereo Path types
• Number of nodes• Node visibility
Repeater Pattern• What is a Repeater?• How to create a
repeater• Limitations
o Whereo Whato Setouto Dissolve
Repeater Pattern• Repeater types
o Singleo Multipleo Multiple hosts
• Repeater variations• Alternating repeaters• Overlapping
repeaters
Hosted Adaptive Components• Number of adaptive points• How to host points• Multiple points• Multiple hosts• Nested Components
Single Point Repeaters
• Single pattern repeaters
Single Point Repeaters
• Multiple Repeater Patterns
Single Point Repeaters
• Multiple Component Repeaters
Two Point Repeaters
• Two point adaptive components as repeaters – on single divided host
Two Point Repeaters
• Two point adaptive components as repeaters – on multiple divided hosts
Two Point Repeaters
• Two point adaptive components as repeaters – on point & surface hosts
Repeater Hosts
• Divided Path• Divided Surface• Control Point
Repeater Elements
• Adaptive Components• One Point AC• Two Point AC• Three Point AC
Repeater 1 - Inspiration
Repeater 1 - Reactor
• 3 Point AC• Host
o Surface + o Control Point
Alternating Repeater - Reactor• 3 Point AC 2
types
Repeater 2 – Curved Facade• 4 Point adaptive component• 3 points on adjacent nodes,
1 on control point• Normal to point 1
Repeater 3 - Inspiration
Repeater 3 - Inspiration
• Fifth Clime – by Hashim Ali
Repeater 3 – Adaptive Star
• 1 Point Adaptive Component
• 2 hosted circles• 2 Divide paths• 6 Points• 12 Points• 12 Lines• 3D snapping• 1 Star• 1 Rectangle• 1 Selection
• 1 Solid Star
Repeater 3 – Star Proportion• Radius proportion parameter• Inside to outside radius• Check
Repeater 3 - Host
• Divided Surface• 60 & 30 degrees
Repeater 3 - Host
• Grid spacing• Star radius
parameter
Repeater 3 – Pattern Variations• Proportion Value
Repeater 3 – Variations - 2 point star• 2 Adaptive points• Reporting Length• Proportion• Sinewave
calculation
Repeater 3 – Variations - 2 point star• 4 point Adaptive
host• 30 & 60 degrees• Fixed Distance
• Flex point
• Repeater
Repeater 4 - Inspiration
Octopus Hotel
Repeater 4 – Repeated Module
• Hotel rooms• +• Curvilinear plans• =
• . . . . . . .
Repeater 4 - Module
Divide Path & Repeat• nesting, • shared families, • linking of parameters,• controlling x,y,z rotation of nested
components• controlling orientation of nested
components when adaptive points move,• repeater patterns
Repeater 4 – Module
• Start simple• Test the process• Add complexity
• Line-based
Repeater 4 - Host
• Create Rig• Length• Radius
• Divide Path
Repeater 4 – Host the Module
• Host• Orientation• Flip
Repeater 4 - Repeater
• Repeat
• Flex
• Parameters
Repeater 4 – Double Repeater• Host again• Reverse
direction• Repeat again
• Delete 2nd repeater
• Divide Path again
• Different spacing• Host again• Repeat again
Repeater 4 – Alternating Repeaters• Delete repeaters• Host – alternate nodes• Create new type• Host – alternate nodes• Repeat again
• Create 2 new types• Host – alternate nodes• Repeat again
Repeater 4 – Tapered Module
• Edit the room module
• Trigonometry
Repeater 4 – Tapered Repeater
• Reload room module• Concave / Convex
• Materials / Colour
Repeater 4 – Corridor Component• Adaptive Component• Nested Line-based• Overlap room
modules
Repeater 4 – Area Calculations
• Edit the room module• Segment area• Check calculations
Repeater 4 – Schedules
• Load into Project• Create schedule
Repeater 4 – Node visibility
• In project – nodes are visible• In family:• Path Representation
Repeater 4 – Error Checking
• Arc repeater component
• Error check for radius• V2013 flex bug
Repeater 4 – Double Curve Adaptive• 3 point adaptive
components• Nested adaptive
Divide & Repeat – Summary• Divide Path• Divide Surface• Repeat• “Array for adaptive
components”
