Here is one of them with the details:




I know it is odd to design a facade apart from the plan/building but it has become a norm here. recently I had a facade design suggestion and here is the result.
Changes on the 1st floor has been due to the client.

And here is another shot from the Grand Hotel.

I uninstalled the previous version, then removed the entire plugin and its loader and reinstalled it, yet the issue persists.
Thanks TIG, I am honored that my hero is commenting on the path I am going.
Okay I will add more guidance on each section.
Also will try to make it "dynamic" before finalizing.
Color coding is meant to show the pressure forces on each part of the mesh.
It meant to generate the best "compressure-only" structure out of the given input.
will update it soon.
Using Gemini, the code is now better, though it generates numerous materials. To make it work: Select the "anchors (face/edge) color it in pure red. Select desired mesh, run the plugin
