Facade Explorer
Instant VR concept optioneering tool
An opportunistic mash-up of technologies built for early-stage project bids: a rule-driven Revit family generating an L-System facade with over 60 instance parameters, a Dynamo script recreating the optioneering spirit of Autodesk's Fractal, and Enscape delivering bid-quality visuals.
A happy side effect: it ran in VR through a game engine, so users could walk around a facade while trying new options every few seconds — 'locking' features they liked and exploring an enormous design space in a playful, engaging way.
