Step 1. Divide surface

  • By using “lunch box”, divide surface as Triangle panel
  • UV parameter: U: 20, V: 100

 

 

Step 2. Select point-up Triangles

  • ”Dispatch”component  allows to select point up triangles and point down triangles separately.

 

Step 3. Make changeable modules on the triangles

  • Find point from Triangles by using “DeBrep” & “List Item”
  • Rotate center line by “3d rotate”
  • Rotate angle is from 0 to 90 degree.
  • 90 degree -> line length is changed to 0.
    0 degree -> line length is Maximum.
    * (90- Angle)/90 x Max. line length = rotated line length
  • Make triangle surface by connecting 3 points.

 

Step 5. Attracting Point

  • Set 4 attracting points around facade
  • By using “closest points”, divide the center points of triangle panels to 4 group.
  • Measure distance from attracting points to the each points on the triangle.
  • Depends on the distance, input different parameters to rotation and line length.
