CHAPTER 2 "MODELLING" 121 6.2.5 Masonry With regard to masonry, the standard construction tool can be used in two ways to meet all requirements. 1st way : the classical way. We choose as for the previous constructions, an introduction point and in the context of We choose the geometry, defining the number of faces, the number of y iterations (number of floors) and the distance y (height of floors). The width and thickness refer to the walls and the angle of insertion, the angle of insertion into the working surface in the XZ plane. For more than one floor, you can set different floor heights in the "Distances by Y" field "Breaking" faces is optional and what it does is to "break" each face into more than one surface, specifically in the middle of the holes, so that each face is simulated with continuous surfaces without holes. Otherwise, the simulation considers one surface for each face with its individual holes. For each face you define: - its start coordinates and angle, in the XZ plane with respect to the local axes (as shown in the figure) and moving anti-clockwise - the width and thickness of the wall and - the number of openings. Accordingly, you define the geometry and position of each opening. After completing the process for each view and each opening, import the vector to the desktop by selecting OK.
