Revit offers a wide variety of geometric data and properties of the elements that form part of the models. However, in unique projects such as those that Amusement Logic undertakes for developers in the leisure and tourism sector (water parks, theme parks, hotels, resorts, campsites, shopping centres, family entertainment centres, Canyoning, etc.), including design, architecture and construction, it will be necessary to obtain specific information that the programme does not provide by default.
For this type of project, we use Dynamo to carry out advanced geometric manipulations. We list below some geometric data that can be easily obtained with Dynamo:
–Curves and profiles of complex elements: e.g. of curved or custom shaped walls.
–Intersections between elements: Dynamo facilitates the analysis of how different architectural or structural elements intersect.
–Irregular surface areas: Dynamo makes it possible to decompose and analyse these complex geometries.
–Specific points of geometry: Dynamo helps to extract and manipulate specific points and their coordinates, necessary for detailed analysis.
–Geometry analysis for simulations: Dynamo is useful to perform simulation of solar trajectories, light behaviour or natural ventilation.
–Custom geometries and for manufacturing: with Dynamo, we efficiently create custom geometric shapes, parameterise them and break them down into their components for digital manufacturing.
As you can see, Dynamo extends Revit’s capabilities for advanced geometric data analysis, manipulation and retrieval, which is essential for complex design and construction projects such as water parks, theme parks, hotels, resorts, campgrounds, shopping centres, family entertainment centres, canyoning, and other leisure and tourism attractions.
