    Default How to align curtain walls on a diamond shape volume

    Hello Everybody,

    I am working on a diamond shaped building with flat facettes at different angles. Once I have applied my curtainwall - pattern based - my volume is covered by grids which dont match up at angles. I know that you can handle the offset and angle for each face - but isn't there a more intelligent way - less arts and crafts - way to do it ???


    Thanks for your comments and help

    Walter
