Description : This tutorial covers how to add angle parameters. In this case we put them in a curtain panel to break from such an orthogonal grid. Here are they a tilted mullions but one could imagine using a curtain system just and a construction grid then using face based families for more complex systems on top of the grid.

Description : In this tutorial we cover how to use a look at constraint. This could be done more rigorously with expression but to quickly test an effect i think it is a great technique.

Description : This is a tutorial i learned from watching Phil Read at Autodesk University. Using curtain panels in Revit we create an undulating hexagon panel that can be hosted by a curtain system. I cover adding parameters and well as using reference planes and picking work planes.
I’ll be posting some student work from the Meshing class at the GSAPP that i teach.
Here is a link to a PDF explaining this project.
And here is Keunbo Yang’s work from the whole semester. You can also find the source model there.
I’ll be posting more student work soon. So please check back!

Description : In this tutorial I make a simple parametric stool in a generic family. I cover Working with reference planes, parameters and establishing constraints.

Description : This Tutorial covers how to make a parametric panel with splines which later have parameters tapering and radius. The opening in the panel is then constrained to a max sun system.
Design ReForm is meant to be a source of information for the integration of design and technology. The ambition of Design Reform is to publish tutorials and explorations in parametric modeling with software such as 3ds Max, Revit, Maya, and Rhino.
