Window Challenge
-
I tried using the component stringer. It works fine in most cases until you get to unevenly oriented/slanted walls (e.g one wall is facing up, but the angle slowly changes, and then you have a wall that faces down slighty)
Im thinking that the solution to this could be a plugin that would:
Draw/Model a "pattern" on a selected surface or surfaces. The "pattern" would be assigned by selecting a component. -
Do you mean your walls are not vertical?

Yes
Thanks, I ment the wholes are slanted in different directions. Each floor is different. This is why I think a "paint surfaces with component" could be very useful
-
In this case all your windows or most of them will be different.
Can you imagine the cost of this? -

Can you imagine the cost of this?Ye, but atleast all put my monster rig to good use
(If you mean cont of production, Im doing this project as an experiment) -
Good luck?
Maybe you could find fredoscale useful for this. -
Perhaps you need to build the mesh and lattice it into windows - EEbyRails then LatticeMaker - one leaving diagonals and the other after manually erasing coplanar diagonals [simple selection tricks...]
I know the windows are not all the same width - but hey, this is a quick 5min demo... you have several hours to sort this perfectly...
-
THere is also a plugin called component onto faces wich could help you. You have to correctly position the center of the component though

My solution is not a plugin
and it's a commercial soft again...
It's Paracloud Gem
I dream about a simple free plug for SU doing that ! Waiting for it, I've bought the V4 next year.

Sad... there is no info on the new version of the web site
I said "I've bought the V4 next year", but's not realy true... "My school bought it" is better
So, I dont realy know the price, but I remember something about 250$ for academic license.
