<\/a><\/p>\nWe will use Beegraphy, the online Grasshopper for that. https:\/\/beegraphy.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n BeeGraphy<\/a> is an innovative cloud-based platform tailored for computational designers. It provides effortless cross-platform compatibility, removing the requirement for installations, thereby facilitating seamless usage on Windows, Mac, or Linux systems. By enabling model creation directly in the cloud and allowing easy sharing through a straightforward URL link, BeeGraphy fosters real-time collaboration and co-creation among individuals and teams. Beegraphy<\/a> ensures that you can share your parametric models securely without disclosing the underlying script, empowering to present designs confidently. Additionally, Beegrapgy<\/a> offers the opportunity to showcase and market models in Beegraphy<\/a> online store, generating passive income.<\/p>\n Is this tutorial we will learn how to<\/strong><\/p>\n We will start with a first Line, it will be the Length of the building.<\/p>\n From a Construct Point<\/strong>, we create a Line SDL<\/strong>, a Vector<\/strong> is necessary to indicate the direction, the Length<\/strong> will be our building total Length.<\/p>\n Note, a <\/em>In<\/em><\/strong> component will be often used to better visualize things. This component is neutral, it just takes the info in and out, and it can have it\u2019s name changed.<\/em><\/p>\n This is how we can see our organization now. Remember the component\u2019s name can be changed with a double click.<\/p>\n Now we divide our Curve, so we will a point avec 3 meters as we decided earlier.<\/p>\n We now copy those points up to have the height of our building<\/p>\n We will have our points at the gutter level.<\/p>\n We can now connect the ground level points and the gutter level points to have our vertical frames, we can also add a Polyline at the gutter level to have the complete frame.<\/p>\n Now let\u2019s add a pitched roof<\/p>\n As we are going to Mirror the structure, the best is to have a very simple approach in two times: length and height.<\/p>\n Length, let\u2019s trace a Line SDL, <\/strong>a X Vector <\/strong>and a Range Input, <\/strong>to have the building\u2019s half Width (because it will be mirrored). The range Output is renamed Half Width<\/p>\n We find the point at line\u2019s End to elevate the extreme one at the required height.<\/p>\n For that we use a Curve end Points, then move up (Vector Z) <\/strong>with a value that will be given by the Range Value<\/strong><\/p>\n Now we can finish connecting the points<\/p>\n Ok, our frame in nearly complete, we can mirror it<\/p>\n This is the setting.<\/p>\n A mirror need a Plan, we will choose a YZ plane<\/strong> and we fix it at the first point of the roof ridge. To do that we will use a List<\/strong> Item<\/strong>, by default the first Item is selected<\/p>\n We now connect what we want to mirror<\/p>\n If we zoom back<\/p>\n Ok, now we can play with the structure, it work to change all setting parametrically.<\/p>\n Ok but there is a \u201cbut\u201d. Any engineer would say, \u201cwhere are the bracings??\u201d, How do want your structure to stand without bracings you foolish architects.<\/em><\/p>\n Creating the bracings is the the easiest part, it need a good understanding of lists;<\/p>\n So we need to connect Point 0 from the ground to point 1 to the gutter, and vice versa.<\/p>\n This will be easy. We will use In\/Out components to have a better organization of our working space<\/p>\n We use a List Item to select the first and second points<\/p>\n We connect with a Line 2 Points, <\/strong>and we do the same but we take the first in the gutter and the next on the ground<\/p>\n We can mirror<\/strong> those new lines,<\/p>\n Now the bracing (which is not needed, at the very end of the structure. It is not needed for the structure to stand, but it\u2019s needed to learn Lists!!<\/p>\n It will start the same<\/p>\n But instead of 1, we put -1, minus one means, the last one.<\/strong><\/p>\n And -2 will be the one before the last !!!<\/p>\n Let\u2019s mirror and check if everything works<\/p>\n It does<\/p>\n The roof also needs a bracing<\/p>\n It\u2019s exactly the same procedure with the needed points<\/p>\n The one from the gutter and the ones from the roof ridge, we need to go back in the definition to find it.<\/p>\n Then, I\u2019d say, it\u2019s just a matter of copy\/paste<\/p>\n Same way to do things, our engineers will be pleased<\/p>\n We mirror, clean, hide the unnecessary information and we\u2019re good.<\/p>\n Before leaving, we\u2019ll add a little bonus which is calculating the floor surface.<\/p>\n For that we need to create the floor<\/p>\n To have the first line on the ground we need the first and last points. That\u2019s a bit tricky. For that we take a Text Area Input<\/strong> and we enter 0 and -1, then the text has to be split to appear as a list. (It\u2019s easier in Grasshopper). So we add another text area Text Area Input<\/strong> and we just press enter<\/strong> inside. We connect everything as in the image, we then need to convert this text (even if it\u2019s numbers) from String to Number<\/strong>. Then we dispatch<\/strong> to have our two points separately and then connect a Line<\/strong>\u2026.<\/p>\n Then we can Mirror this, we\u2019ll use a different mirror with the same settings to have a better control.<\/p>\n Then we can loft those two lines to have the surface<\/p>\n Then it\u2019s the Surface component, we add a Face Normal to have a point where to put the text.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s add the text, it\u2019s now pretty standard<\/p>\n This is how to set things<\/p>\n The color<\/p>\n The text is moved a bit up for a better vision.<\/p>\n That\u2019s all<\/p>\n https:\/\/beegraphy.com\/workspace\/edit\/65feb383de738b2132c65fe1<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
