Modeling process

1. Massing Model

I build a floor plan in the Conceptual Mass using reference lines, aligned dimension for different parts of the plan. Then copy the floor plan to selected levels which are important for the design. After that, a set of parameters and formulas has been assigned. Finally, I pick different lines on different levels to create the form of the building.

Floor plan with aligned model:

Building form:

2. Parametric Modeling Diagram

Five formulas have been written for the different parts at different levels of the buildings. Then make the form, slops of the building show up. The form of the building could be changed while the parameters are changing. 

Formulas:

Forms with different parameter:

3. Model with parameter defined curtain panel

In the template of Curtain Panel Pattern Based, a single curtain panel with the parameters of material and size was created. It could be loaded into mass model.

4. Load into project:

After the former steps, this massing model was loaded into project.
