It was necessary to extract windows’ dimension and location parameters from the corresponding Generic Model Adaptive modules and use Integer Slider and Math Random to produce a random number for each parameter. To achieve this goal, a list of instances was used for window values.  Select Model Element  à  Get Family Parameter  à  List Create   à  Element.SetParameterByName Family Parameters: Window’s width and height & Left and down distances Figure 1.   Screenshot 1 Figure 2.   Screenshot 2 Integer Slider à Math.Random & Number à Multiplies x by y & Number à x greater y? & Number à If à Watch à List Create à Element.SetParameterByName 1) X 2 Math à Functions à Random (seed) 2

Building Information for a case study León, Spain 2004 This playful concert hall occupies the south side of a large plaza in León’s historic center.
