The tower project : Hands-on Modeling / Scripting (Sun 3pm - 6pm+) The problem is to build some facade logic into an existing tower. I am going to give you a base tower model - you will create components for the facade system. If you have an idea, great - or else I am going to propose one of the two
a) openings orient towards flexible view (sight) lines.
b) openings enlarge / fold up based on the sun angles.

Before you start modeling, its critical that you *plan* out what you want to do. So in an A4 page sketch out a scheme and then proceed! Group work welcome.

Good luck.

1. Documentation of the 'tree-example'
2. Documentation of the 'bridge-example'
The HTMLs are automatically generated by a feature that I am writing currently. It converts a GC file into a web publishable document.

The tree.GCT file (right click and save link)
I have cleaned up the file and renamed the features.
Note: The transaction where a new feature type is created (myTriangle) should be suppressed, if you have the feature already in your list.

The bridge.GCT file(right click and save link)
This file shows how to use the "Image-Capture feature" and transactions scripts to create animations.
