Need help with a complex wall sweep

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on a Italian/french style home and need advise on how to achieve this "wall sweep"

Any advise or assistance would be of great help

Do you mean the window trim? If so, you could create a family and place it around the window.

If you mean the clay tile roof elements, you can model them as generic models, or perhaps a roof.

I think the correct term for it is corbeling or something. I circled it in the image

Probably a line based model family, with an arrayed tile nested family. Unless you have a millions of these, then you may notice some performance issues.

Another option is using a railing, with "special" baluster family (yes, the same tile model).

I think railing work best if you have several of these and you wish to model them using a sketch loop (for example, if they turn corners, or for round segments), otherwise if you have only a few of these you may use a line based family.

Of course if you have only one or two of these trims, you may as well model them in place.

I think this is the range of your options, but there could be other ways.

Regards
