Title: Roof Snowstopper Pattern
Post by: GeraldW on August 08, 2023, 03:13:20 PM

Hey,

I´m in the middle of creating a roof preset with snowstoppers, but can´t figure out how to get the correct pattern.
I would like to keep everything as tidy and adjustable as possible, so I thought the best way is to group the snow stopper to the rooftile and control which one is selected with an Condition or Arithmetic node.
So far so good, but I can´t figure out how to offset every other row of snowstoppers as shown in the picture.

If its not to complicated it would be awesome to have the first two rows completely covered with snowstoppers as shown in the pattern. But thats just a nice to have bonus :)

Any help is much appreciated.

Best,
Gerald

Hi,

A possible approach would be combining the Sequence Operator in the Increment at X & Increment at Y modes. Please find attached the modified version of your scene (230809_Roof_Snowstopper_iToo.max).

I hope that helps.

Best regards,
