sometimes, the bricks are the same size just layed once on the long side and once on the shortside, and when placed on the long side two bricks are used so that the width is the same as a brick layed on the shortside, its cheaper than buying 2 different sets of bricks :)
Thank you for this great tutorial !! Very detailed and helped me out a lot 🙏🏼🙏🏼, I have a small problem I wonder if there is a solution to it; instead of using this on a plane wall, I would like to use it on a curved wall/ surface. Do you have any idea what I can change in the algorithm to make that happen ?
At the beginning you say the normal brick is in 2 sizes (normal brick & double brick). I just want to clarify that it isn't a double brick, those smaller bricks are just a normal brick turned 90 degrees & the longer brick is placed normally. This is because the brick wall has 2 layers of bricks so every other course they will lay out the bricks turned 90 degrees to structurally tie the wall together.
I am afraid you're mistaken. Please check the pictures about this project on archdaily website and you will get the idea how it's made: www.archdaily.com/785923/crystal-houses-mvrdv/5717988fe58ece9e0b00011f-crystal-houses-mvrdv-photo?next_project=no
what @studio22a34 meant was that the conventional brick bonding only uses one set of brick dimensions, which is probably true for the actual bricks on top of the glass ones, the custom dimensions shown by the architects are probably only for the glass bricks (since they are unconventional)@@HowtoRhino of course this has no effect on your modelling since the aim is just to replicate the visual appearance.
I have a problem to cut openings in a surface: I have a solid surface and a surface with openings. First I set this solid surface and it works correctly till this moment when you start cutting openings…. What do I need to do?
You need to take the “Panel” and inside of it type: {0,2,…} Please make sure the data placed in the D input of the Split Tree is simplified (you can enable it on the right click of the input). Hope it helps.
