First i wanted to create a balcony to see landscapes and fauna, but with an organic form, made of wood modules.

First i choosed the elevation front view, because i wanted to start with a module repeating system

1.jpg

I created the reference planes with the geometry i wanted my modules to have

2.jpg

Then i created an extrusion in the planes that i mentioned before, at the end i finished the extrusion in the green tick. (mode)

3.jpg

Now i align the sides of the extrusion with the reference planes and locked the padlock.

4.jpg

Then i added measures in the sided i wanted to change. with the command "di".

5.jpg

The next step is to select the measure and go in "label" and select "add parameter"

6.jpg

Here we put the parameter "name" and "value", and un "formula" we can use a simple formula to simplify the work, in this case i choosed that the "A" parameter to be the first one, and "B" depends from "A". 

7.jpg

Now i Opened a new Family (Proyecto2), to load the project. I also choosed the elevation mode (front).

8.jpg

Now i selected all the things on the "Proyecto1" and selected "Load into Project"

9.jpg

And choosed the "Proyecto2" family, in this project just put one model.

10.jpg

Now with the comand "Array" i selected the model and replicate it.

11.jpg

In this case i choosed to replicate with a radial form.

12.jpg

Choosed an 5º angle, because with 10º the elements were too far away and below 5º didnt work.

13.jpg

Then i selected to array with 60 elements

14.jpg

 

15.jpg

Then i selected all the modules and choosed "Ungroup", this way i was able to work freely with one module at the time, to create the final shape each element must be selected one by one.

16.jpg

Then i was able to change the "A" parameter one module at the time, with this change all the parameters change, becaus of the formula i added before.

17.jpg

Then i created a new parameter, i called "C" because i wanted to add more geometric change in the shape.

18.jpg

Then i just selected "Loead into Project" and all my changes were passed to the "Proyecto2" model.

19.jpg

And the project was loaded with all the parameters and data.

24.jpg

Then i Started to changing the "A" parameter one module at the time, giving more air in some parts to create spaces of permanences. Again just changing the "A" parameter.

20.jpg

This is the Floor plan level.

21.jpg

This is the result, is a little small, but in time it will get bigger and with more permanence spaces inside.
