009 | Knowledge Pattern


there are three separate surface types being projected upon. all three are controlled by the same curve number parameter. each surface has its own udf file and catalog. the bottom surface is a quadrilateral fill with passing point. the next is a closed multi-section surface made with three quadrilateral sections. the last is an open multi-section surface with three curves for sections.

008 | Smart Powercopia


the heights of the tubes are driven by the three points hovering next to the framework. these are each given z values as a random number between 50 and 500. The distance of arc opening of the framework is also given a random value between 550 and 1000 (the limits I found that allow it to continue working). The tubes are then colorized based on a rule of the avg circumference of their opening. The initial sketch spline can also be moved to change the aggregate plan/perimeter of the tubes.

007 | Flat Form



didn't get too crazy with this... finally got the powercopy to work... had something weird with the order of operations

006 | Powercopies




used framework 1 from assignment 005 to insert cells which were then powercopied to fill in the rest of the framework




Ive got the power.... to transform the framework and therefore transform the powercopies

002 | From Flat to Form



using the same sketch from lesson 001, the circle that once rotated now instead expands in diameter. this change in diameter drives the series of attached circles. the lofted surface above expands in the x and z directions as the diameters of the circles beneath grow.

001 | Dynamic Diagram Sketch




this video shows the change in plan as the curvy walls are changed due to unseen circles' diameters changing 




the constraining circles are now shown. the diameter of each circle is driven by a connected axle which is attached to a rotating circle. then curves are attached tangentially to the circles. new curves are attached to the first set of curves.
