      Not going the image way, how to do this (in a way appropriate to this thread, that is)? How to distort a grid of faces and edges, before or after extrusion?

      You can use SketchyFFD (Free Form Deformation). I tried it first for this question, but it's too much for my computer... The Illustrator way is very very lighter !

        I think it is more appropriate to draw the mesh and not necessarily warp it. It doesn't need to be processed by the computer. The artist can draw the shapes required. It would be better in a freehand application, rather than SU with its omnipresent inferencing. The only issue I find is you have to do the nasty DXF or DWG import and make all the faces behave. I drew it in my CAD, created polygons of all the holes and imported that. I think the OP implies the lattice-like facade is also deformed perpendicular to the building perimeter. IDK.

        I attempted with bezier curves and Lattice Maker and did not succeed. LM placed the offsets every which way and never completed. So if you do it all natively in SU how would you make the offsets?

            Bezier Curves By Fredo6

            Use the Didier Bur Projection Tools
            The last tool permits to make a sort of "Flat Offset" with Vector direction

            Make 2 CleanUP for the Intersections πŸ€“

            If you want some crazzy no orthogonal sections use successivelly "Projection" with Vector direction
            and draw the last segment on the first! β˜€

                  Looking good to me. Very nice, Pilou. I'm going to take the opportunity to encourage someone to get in touch with Sketchy FFD, as per daredevil's rec... It seemingly would allow manipulation so that the grid remained more faithful to the original, rather than being really a non-grid.

                  Well, I tried it on the simple grid and crashed twice, which is enough for me.

                    Hi Guys, let's say that when you look at the plan of the building. The wall i wanted to be curvy. from the picture it might seem to be a straight wall just with pattern on the wall

                      You can curve it!
                      With Shape Bender by Chris Fullmer or Fredo Scale by Fredo6 πŸ˜‰

                      Here Shape Bender : Arc can be any curve
                      The straight line must be parallal to the red Axis!
                      Wall must be a group or component

                      shapeB.jpg

                      and then twisted with Fredo Scale πŸ˜‰
                      etc...
