What about subtractive modeling? That is, edit and cut the Solid Mass with Void Masses.
Hi barthbradley,
Thanks very much for your reply. Doing the subtractive modelling as you have shown is a good idea and what I was considering for the perimeter archway openings. However, the issue I am trying to sort out is creating the internal 'funnel' shapes that the trees seen in the pavilion images are growing in.
Would I be better off doing something like:
1. Creating a grid of points for the overall structure shape.
2. Dragging down some of the points to create the initial funnel shape.
3. Using a cylindrical void to cut through the bottom of each funnel shape and create an opening at ground level.
4. Modify the points around the opening to make it straight and circular.
5. Manipulate the points in between each funnel to raise and lower the surface to make it look more organic.
Thanks
Armand
You know, you can create surfaces from your linework by selecting two lines at a time and pressing Create Surface. Give it a try. Maybe that approach would be the way to go since you already got a handle on creating the linework.
...I would suggest checking the "Is Reference Line" checkbox in the Properties of each line prior to creating form from them.
