Panelization Examples

     Panelization Example1

The following is an example of panelization of a surface. It creates diagrid structure, triangulated glazing panels and diagonal fin skins. Here is a sample input file.

surface2.3dm

add_library('igeo')

size(480,360,IG.GL)

IG.open("surface2.3dm")
surfaces = IG.surfaces()
surf = surfaces[0]

layer1 = IG.layer("glazing")
layer2 = IG.layer("structure")
layer3 = IG.layer("facade")

unum = 20
vnum = 30
uinc = 1.0/unum
vinc = 1.0/vnum
for i in range(unum) : 
    for j in range(vnum) :
        if (i+j)%2 == 0 :
            # glazing panels
            gpt1 = surf.pt( i*uinc, j*vinc )
            gpt2 = surf.pt( (i+1)*uinc, (j-1)*vinc )
            gpt3 = surf.pt( (i+1)*uinc, (j+1)*vinc )
            gpt4 = surf.pt( i*uinc, (j+2)*vinc )
            ISurface(gpt1,gpt2,gpt3).clr(0,1-.1*i,1-.05*i,.3).layer(layer1)
            ISurface(gpt3,gpt4,gpt1).clr(.5,1-.1*i,1-.05*i,.3).layer(layer1)
            
            # diagrid structure
            spt1 = surf.pt( i*uinc, j*vinc, 0.5 )
            spt2 = surf.pt( (i+1)*uinc, (j-1)*vinc, 0.5 )
            spt3 = surf.pt( (i+1)*uinc, (j+1)*vinc, 0.5 )
            ICylinder(spt1, spt2, 0.2).clr(0.3).layer(layer2)
            ICylinder(spt1, spt3, 0.2).clr(0.3).layer(layer2)
        # fin skin
        fpt1 = surf.pt( i*uinc, j*vinc )
        fpt2 = surf.pt( (i+1)*uinc, (j+2)*vinc )
        fpt3 = surf.pt( i*uinc, j*vinc, -3.0 )
        fpt4 = surf.pt( (i+1)*uinc, (j+2)*vinc, -3.0 )
        fpt3.rot(fpt1, fpt2.dif(fpt1), i*uinc*PI/2)
        fpt4.rot(fpt1, fpt2.dif(fpt1), i*uinc*PI/2)
        
        ISurface(fpt1, fpt2, fpt4, fpt3).layer(layer3)
surf.del()
