Wall style coping fill
« on: July 25, 2018, 01:05:06 PM »
So I'm using this for a while now. It just stretches a wall from the RC object between its Z height and the spline object.
Looks like this.

Its working pretty well so far.
You see that notch? On some projects those are supposed to be repeated. And until now I used to manually make those notches.
Its pretty much time consuming.

So I did this

Different kinds of vertices behave differently, and pretty much follow the logic I use when building actual projects. So far it works.
So the spline stays flat or whatever, and all I have to do is scatter those vertices and apply the with different behaviors (corner/bc/b) and RC will works it magic.
Thing is, I can't find a way to lay flat a coping on top of it.

Any ideas?

If You attached Your scene it would be easier to understand what is going on in Your style.

You should move up intersecting segments so they are do not create doublefacing geometry:


You need to have one generator for wall and use different segments for different corner types:
Conditional operator will help You:


Once You do that, it will be the same technique for coping.- Move up and use different Y size.

One more Tip:

Use Fixed Size Z instead of Z Fixes Scale:


It will be easier to configure the style.

Okay thank you! Will give it a shot  :)

-edit-

One more thing. You must have noticed I use "Tile" mode instead of "Scale".
This is not very optimal as it generates extra and unneeded geometry. The thing is I pretty much have to since some of the walls in the scene will be curved, and "Scale" doesn't play very pretty.
Is there a way for the generator to automatically decide which kind of mode is optimal for each segment?
If it senses a curve- change this section to Tile. Otherwise- Scale.

No automatic way. You can set up that with spline Material IDs

Okay... thing is I already use Material IDs to select railing types.
Oh well.
