HI - I have a set of posts and beams, their spans, loads, etc. I'm looking to create a dynamo script that has sliders in it that takes into account various items, span, building height, wind loads, beam loading, etc. The use case is this. As a user I want to interact with dynamo sliders to adjust building length, height, width, wind load, seismic load, roof pitch, and building spans to automate the selection of posts and beams to be used in construction. There could also be an option to select, most cost effective solution vs. most clear span solution. The "formula" would look at all of the post and beam components and select the "right" combination based on the above to come up with a post and beam package that "works" for said design. Is this possible?
Hi, I think the simple answer is that everything is possible if you have enough time. However, if you have access to Robot Structural Analysis then you can use the calculation engine of Robot for the design.
@@RevitStructureBlog I have the walls figured out, but not the roof. That seems to only be able to be done manually. I've done a comprehensive search on this and haven't found a solution yet.
You can take the start and end points of the column and use this to place the bracing. If you want different configurations you could use points placed at ratios along the column.
Way to fast. Slow down and speak more clearly. Be consistent. Copy and rename before moving on. Explain each step. Grouping nodes will make the tutorial more organized and gives you a chance to further explain. Nice tutorial, but it made my blood pressure go up from rewinding 10 times on step where you didn’t name the slider.
That was perfect and made me love more dynamo.
Thank you so much sir, please make tutorial on double line cad file plan for wall modeling by dynamo.
very clear and simple explanations. thank you...
Thanks mate. You are a machine
Thanks for sharing, could you please bring an example with overhang, so the lasy purling is out of frame
That was so helpful, how can i calculate the weight of this structure in dynamo?
You can do that in Revit. Take the density of steel multiplied by the volume in a schedule as a calculated value.
I had issues with the orientation or the columns and beams when i tried to continue adding structure. Anyone else?
How can I check an existing model. Whether the parameters are according to minimum, if not then it will highlight the element
sounds like you want to set up a view filter or perhaps a conditional formula in a schedule.
This is great! How do you create a formula for the purling spacing?
has anyone had any luck in creating this formula yet?

@@RevitStructureBlog I don't.
Is there any way to apply wally types and roof types to this script?
Hi, you could also add those with Dynamo . I have just concentrated on the steel frame here

Please can you do part 2 progressing the coding.
Hi Scott, I guess the Part 2 would be focussing on the cold rolled steelwork placement.
Hi...how do we brace column?
You can take the start and end points of the column and use this to place the bracing. If you want different configurations you could use points placed at ratios along the column.
