    Default Massing query?

    Good day everyone,
    I had a query regarding this structure I'm trying to create. i tried using sweep solids and voids for the center portion but for the side wings i'm unable to do it.
    Any inputs on this will be really helpful
    Kind Regards,
    Aliya

    I would try to do this with a blend and a void extrusion. A blend in elevation using a "vertical" rectangle to be the base (front in your reference photo) and a rectangle angled down by 15 deg as the top (back in the photo) then I would use a void in plan to trim the ends to the circular profile, and if needed to slice it up into separate beams. Have fun and please share your results.

    Here's a quick attempt. I used two solid blends and two void extrusions to get it close to the scan. Then I just applied curtain systems with mullions in only one direction. If you had the plan available it would be much easier.

    Sure, like I said though, this was quick and dirty. The file was actually too big to upload as shown, so I deleted almost everything out of it, including half the form. You just need to mirror the curtain systems across column line 1 to get back to where it was. The voids were the big cheat, I think that with a little more time and maybe a few extra blends, you could do it without the voids... which look right in elevation but seamed odd in plan.
