Randomize curtain wall grids, especially useful for feature wall creation. It's recommended not to set specifications too small to avoid response delays.

Parameter Explanation

The curtain wall type used must have no default grid division.

alt text

Max/Min values control spacing randomization in the continuous joint direction.
The second interval randomly adds width specifications. Taking bricks as an example: if you have 800, 600, 300 width bricks, they are randomly horizontally cut according to the max/min values from the first point, then randomly arranged.
Continuous Joint Selection: Based on curtain wall grid generation direction — U is horizontal, V is vertical.

Check front/back according to your curtain wall cabinet orientation. Generated door panels will appear on the corresponding curtain wall face. The door panel is also a curtain wall type — select it in the options box. Edge margins can be customized as needed.

# Staggered Division

alt text

Staggered division for curtain wall series.

alt text

Applicable to curtain wall and sloped glazing types. The staggered division direction can be switched with a second click.

When processing staggered division dimensions, it deletes grid lines at intervals. For example, for 300×600 brick staggered paving, the grid setup needs to be 300×300.

# Gradient Panel

Ensure only two panel styles are on the panel as gradient elements. Continuous clicks toggle the two elements. UV selection switches the gradient direction.

alt text

Steps: Click the curtain wall type multiple times to toggle the two elements.

# Sloped Glazing Alignment

Align grids to a specified edge when the floor tile paving created with sloped glazing is not horizontal.

alt text

Steps: Select a grid line to align → Select the sloped edge of a panel on the current sloped glazing.

alt text

During operation, first select the grid line to align, then click the model boundary to align to.

# Panel Info

First, add three project parameters with corresponding parameter names to the project, assigned to the panel category. Width and height are length type; number is text type.

# Curtain Wall Text

Generate batch 3D text content based on curtain wall panels.

Text specifications — material, size, depth — are controlled from the software interface. Only when you need to change the font, copy the previously generated text panel and modify the font.
