Conceptual Massing
Select the Reference Lines
and Create Form. You are
prompted to choose between
a ‘thick’ extrusion and a paper
thin canvas. Choose the
extrusion. Select your
extrusion and set its thickness
to something more
acceptable. You can also
assign a material to it.
Place a point element in the
Mid-point of a Reference Line.
Select the Rectangle draw
tool then click on ‘Set’, then
click on the point to set the
Work Plane. Select the
rectangle and the Reference
Lines and click Create Form
to make a sweep. To finish
the panel off join the
geometry of the ‘frame’ and
the ‘glass panel’. Save this
panel. And load it into the
Building B Mass.
In the Building B Mass, select
the surface with the pattern
on it. Click on the Properties
Type selector. Under the
Rectangle pattern you should
now find the panel that you
have just made. Select it. The
surface now has a panel on it
which follows the contour
much better. Reload this into
your project.
