Generating A Dynamo Model

In order to randomly create different patterns on the façade, Dynamo was used. 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

Openings’ dimensions in different levels are different. Accordingly, an Integer Slider was used for each family parameter applied for each window’s dimensions and location.
