Experiment Sun path Responsive Panels in Revit Using Dynamo For my second project, I decided to experiment with sun-responsive panels in Revit using Dynamo. The goal was to create panels that dynamically adjust their position based on the sun's direction, optimizing shading and sunlight capture So, here’s how I created this sun-responsive panel: Part 1: Creating the Panel Family in Revit First, I started by creating the panel family in Revit. I opened the Curtain Panel Pattern-Based Family template and added two reference points—one at the center and another offset. I made sure to turn on their reference planes for better control. Then, I connected these points with a 3D reference line. To allow the panel to rotate, I added a rotation parameter. I selected one of the points, created a new Instance Parameter called R Panel, and linked it to the point's rotation property. Next, I drew two profiles on either side of the line and used the Create Form tool to buil
