Chapter 10Conceptual Design
For a typical Autodesk® Revit® user, the term computational design can evoke visions of obscure tools used for advanced form-making. This preconceived notion has proven difficult to curtail, even as parametric modeling and design computation become more commonplace. New tools providing parametric design environments enable users to not only create unique geometry, but also develop automated processes and sophisticated data manipulation techniques.
Autodesk tools have taken two approaches—one that is data-centric and the other that is geometry-centric. This provides more flexibility and expediency to the design process. With these tools, users can create algorithms and manipulate data graphically, rather than textually. ...
