I'm looking for some help in determining a height of a panel in a curtain wall that can be parametrically controlled from one end to the other.
I'm trying to get a custom curtain wall panel to follow a curve in elevation. So if that's not possible, stop me now. (Image1.jpg) I've got them to the point where they are instance parameters so I can individually change their heights. I want a formula so they are controlled by numerical input or possibly an invisible line I can tug up and down. Sort of that Zach Kron type of stuff.
The project is for a 600'-0" bridge. 160 individual curtain panels on the side. They need to stay on the girder off the bridge, but dynamically change their height so they aren't all equal. The second image shows the angular curtain panel on a straight line hovering above the bridge. Each was painstakingly adjusted....not para-metrically.
Anyone have an ideas?
