Parametric or Param-O

[ryejuan]

Hi,

I just wanted to post this out here maybe some users can give ideas or tips or techniques to do this much simpler and easier.

The image below is done using a beam which I have manually adjusted the lengths in a section view to make it more random.

My question is there an easy way to do this? like Param-O and how difficult or easy it would be? Thanks for the help in advance!

Operating system used: Windows 10 Pro 22H2

You can achieve this in Param-o, but GDL offers more control over the process. Here’s a setup in Param-o where the bars are drawn through, and the seams/joints are cut out. However, a drawback in Param-o is that you don’t have control over the seams positions between adjacent rows.

To make adjustments easier, I've added just additional hotspots in GDL. 

Have fun!
