Is it possible to create a linear array of geometry in dynamo? I don’t see a node.
For context I am trying to create a paramteric parametric brick array. Ultimately I am going to implement a stretch factor to create a perforated pattern, and parametric rotation of elements.
Is it the right appraoch to start by generating a box in dynamo? Would I be better off creating a family for the brick and using dynamo to place them along an array of points? I was hoping each array (there are 3-4 in the project overall) would be its own in -place family so the number of bricks could easily be scheduled.
Thanks
@ct_studio ,
for arrays you will need a range like
0..10..#5
something like this
Got it, thanks.
How would one generate a cuboid by center point?
You can build them via coordinate system, or you can build one at the origin and transform it by an array of coordinate systems, or you can build an array of vectors and translate one from the origin by the vectors, or you can translate one from the origin by three sets of arrays for the X, Y and Z values, or…
There are a TON of ways to do what you are after. I recommend starting with the Dynamo Primer found here: https://primer2.dynamobim.org/
Don’t skip any exercise even if the outcome doesn’t seem relevant - i.e. if you’re looking at Dynamo for interior lighting design, the exercises showing arrays of roof geometry are still relevant as they teach you how to leverage lists and lacing.
