need help on facade detailing

[Anonymous]

so im trying to make tilted column effect on 8 story building facade which will continue on other two facades and i cant make it happen properly properly because i dont know how to make it look good on corners. it kinda looks janky. any suggestions ?

Post some pictures or something.

supposing that I understood your question, why don't you make a column that just goes from Level 0 to Level 8?

[barthbradley]

that wouldn't look too "janky", @constantin.stroescu?  he, he.  

P.S. I have no idea what "janky" looks like.  😉

  i want something like this but corners needs to be merged and i have no idea how to model it

[barthbradley]

are you referring to that white "sweep"?  How was it created?  

[Anonymous]

i created it with simple extrusion on each wall faces. 

[barthbradley]

Don't use Wall Sweeps. Sweep; yes. But, model it In-Place.  All of it.  Have you tried that?  

[Anonymous]

yeah ive tried it but sweep wont let me choose another plane for each wall  faces

[barthbradley]

Draw Model Lines on each face first and then start In-Place Sweep and select the Model Lines for your Sweep Path.  Tried that? 

[Anonymous]

oh, i haven’t thought about that. ill try it. hope it’ll work

Mass Form:

I couldn't get it to work as an In-Place Model.  It was Janky. Use In-Place Mass.

oh, thanks for that. i actually tried in place mass but didnt achieved what i wanted. can you tell me me exactly what did you do ? i placed reference lines on each wall then set the plane drew rectangle and it swept along the lines but because of that plane i set at the begging it messed on other wall faces. your modeling looks just perfect
