URGENT - Macro Bricks - Running Bond
« on: September 23, 2025, 08:31:16 pm »
Hello,

This is the first time I've had to build a brick wall, and the simplest solution seems to use the Brick Bond macro.
However, I would like to be able to access the cutting area (for doors, windows, and so on...).
How can I do this?

Or perhaps I should do it without macros, but in that case, I will need a lot of help.

I should point out that I am a complete beginner !

Thank you.

Hi,

You can easily add support for the Clipping Area feature to the Bricks – Running Bond macro. To do so, enter the macro either by double-clicking it or right-clicking and choosing Macro > Edit Macro. Once inside, connect an Input node of the Clipping Area type to the Clipping Area input of the Array 2S Generator. In this generator, set the Clipping Area mode to Exclude and choose the desired projection axis. Back in the Top-level (main style graph), you can now add a Spline node, wire it to the corresponding input, and pick a spline from the scene. I’ve attached a sample scene demonstrating this setup. I hope you find it useful.

Best regards,

Ricousto
