Joost_R Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Is it possible to simulate simple façades (windows) on a massing model with the marionette tool? Something like this: Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) @Joost_RCertainly possible. The complexity of the positioning of window may have to be run using separate parts like screens but Yes is the answer.Here is a simple one with regular facade, with a bit more playing around more complex is possible.

Joost_R Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Looks interesting! Is it possible to save the file as a lower version? I have vectorworks 2016. Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 @Joost_RHope this helps, The curved one was done with Marionette and used deform to bend it. Could run it in the network but this was quick and east. Facade_Obj_In_Boundary_v2017_v2016.vwx Quote Link to comment
Joost_R Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 It looks great and thanks for the help but it's not completely what I had in mind. I'm working on a very large (urban) scale with several massing models (that contain data). The idea is that if I want to make a eye-level view render of the current masterplan, I can simulate façades on the massing models. And if the masterplan changes along with the massing models, the façades ajdust as well. Maybe it's more interesting to work with a bump on a texture? Or create a wall from the massing model. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 @Joost_R@DomCJump in here I recall the early model you made with the building massing. Maybe that can be of use here. This is an adjustable building. RandomCube_v10.vwx Quote Link to comment
Joost_R Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Thanks for the help, but I've find another way to do it. I've given a texture (with a bump) to the wall class of the massing model and this simulates a façade to the massing model. It looks pretty great but now I've come across another problem. I tried to simulate a balcony which works, but the problem is that the texture (with the balcony) also appaers in the roof and the floor of the massing model, even though the roof of the massing model is set on a different class (with a different texture). Does the wall class of the massing model include every surface of the massing model (roof, walls, floor)? Quote Link to comment
