During the conceptual design phase, create masses to explore ideas and perform early analyses. As the design matures, manipulate these forms to use as the basis for more detailed architecture.
Create a Conceptual Design
Use the conceptual design environment to create a conceptual mass or a pattern component. Select a template to provide a starting point.
Reference Points
Place a reference point to align, create and manipulate parametric geometry in the conceptual design environment.
Forms
Use the Create Form tool to create solid and void extrusions from various geometric shapes.
Geometry Division
Prepare surfaces and lines to host patterns, panels, or adaptive components in the conceptual design environment.
Pattern Component Families
In the conceptual design environment, create and apply nested pattern components to populate buildable architectural components families.
Adaptive Components
Create components that flexibly adapt to many unique contextual conditions.
