Smart Array

// Parametric element and group distribution along paths, multi-row offset aisles, and 3D matrices

  • Arrays standalone families or Revit Groups along straight lines, wall faces, and compound curves.
  • Generates multi-row layouts with automated walking aisles, fire breaks, and stretched symmetrical spacing.
  • 3D Grid Matrix generator with vertical stepping and downward ray-casting to auto-host to sloping topography.

Key Features & Workflow

01 //

Path Alignment & Groups

Distributes families or complex groups, rotating elements tangentially along curved baselines.

02 //

Aisle Gaps & Concentric Rows

Injects fire-break corridors and expands concentric radial rows for amphitheaters or auditoriums.

03 //

3D Matrix & Topo Auto-Host

Multi-axis spatial grid arrays with ray-casting to host elements securely to sloped topography.

// Workflow

Workflow & Operation

01 // STEP

Custom pattern sequences.

Build repeating multi-step rhythms with unique distances, offsets, and rotations, saved globally for office reuse.
