Programming your way up a Skyscraper
summary
Python scripts generate a 100 level skyscraper from coordinates and produce floors and walls automatically, replacing thousands of manual documents and saving weeks of work. Workflow links Dynamo visual scripting and its Python node, Rhino/Grasshopper geometry, blender bim with IFC meshes, and exports into Revit or Archicad. Examples include a twisting tower made by iterating rotations in Python and building energy dashboards per floor with ladybug tools and honeybee showing kilowatt hours over time, proving the pipeline is constructible and analyzable.
