Today's tutorial is a simple but powerful Dynamo script. This is a great introduction to the use of geometry within Dynamo itself.
I was recently tasked with modeling a Unitarian Church here in Connecticut designed by Victor Lundy. The church has two big modeling challenges: the roof and the beams that follow the roof.
I modeled the roof by creating a surface in the conceptual massing environment and then manipulating that surface until it was accurate to the building. I then hosted a Roof by Face, well, actually, as you will see in the video tutorial I ended up having to use a Wall by Face.
I then used Dynamo to automatically create the exposed timber beams:
I have to say.. It worked brilliantly!
Here is the video tutorial that walks you through the entire script from start to finish:
