How to "Wrap" pattern around filleted rectangle surface

Geometry

Hello fellow folks and accessible gurus. I’m fairly comfortable with basic/intermediate data management by now for my day to day use, so I’m trying to learn about parametric design.

To do so, I’m recreating the shell of a project I did in college, which was made in AutoCAD + physical model, but trying to make it a bit more fluid and dynamic. The parametric challenge is making this diamond grid in Dynamo. In this picture is more or less what I originally made (only now in revit for reference):

With a not-so-optimal script, I was able to create a sufficiently ok pattern:

The script:
25_Estrutura Predio.dyn (92.9 KB)

What I can’t solve so far:

This pattern needs to “bend” around the surface adjacent to it (I’m adding some curves, because why not). I don’t know if the workflow is to create the pattern, then “wrap” it on the surface, or create the pattern directly on the surface(s), then create a solid from it.
Either way, I’m stuck.

Appreciate any inputs on this.
Thanks a lot!

PS: Revit 2025, Dynamo 3.3.0

I would look at adaptive families and surface division over Dynamo. That’s just me
Balkan Architect on Youtube has lots of tutorials on facades and adaptive components

Thanks for the reply. Gotta say I never really worked with adaptative families, so I’ll give it a try.

Even then, just for the sake of practicing Dynamo, is there a way to achieve that result, or is that a case of “wrong tool for the job”?

The two can reinforce each other, but if you’re going to eventually want users to have some degree of control adaptive is likely where you want to be. That said you can use Dynamo to drive those, as well as do studies without those tools. Look into the new paneling nodes as a start - Dynamo Core 3.1 Release - Dynamo BIM
