How can i make something like this with mass

[Anonymous]

this is what i want to make with mass. i could do that if i had wall like this building(i mean just flat wall). But i have something like circle(i uploaded my project walls). Because of that i couldn't draw what i want.

You said that you can do that facade, as shown in the image, and that 'the only problem' is that your building has curved walls instead of straight walls as in the example? If you can do this facade as shown, it should not be too difficult for you to apply the same process to a different footprint.

I had some shortcuts which can be done in 1-2 hours for walls like this building has. I just dont know how to add spline to curved wall like mine so i can handle rest of them. i just can't make this waves.

Hi

Checkout the attached file.

if you have a flexible reference line which can be moved then you can move 

to align with spline/curve.

In the attached file, the mass, when you edit, there are reference lines which can be moved

and the mass edges are locked to them so they move along ...

you can draw a curve/splines in elevation and edit the mass as per your requirement..

hope this ll help you.

Best of luck

Cheers!

To make the waves on a curved wall, first create a surface for the curved wall, then create splines using the "follow surface" command, so that the splines are always on the wall. Put the points of the splines at different elevations. That will create a curve that ondulates up and down while still staying on the curved wall. The rest of the exercise consists of making more of those splines, then divide path, and draw one family with adaptive points from node to node of the divided path. Then repeat the repeater.

All this is easier to say it than to do it. It's not easy geometry, curved in plan, with waves up and down in elevation, plus with in and out points in depth.

It can be done but the process can take several attempts to get it right, if it is as shown on the image but on a curved footprint.
