Walls

Architron 2024 VIDEO : Walls

The Walls tool in Architron is designed to generate wall geometry directly from a floorplan.
It can produce either 2D curves or 3D wall surfaces, depending on the project requirements.

Walls can be generated from a wide range of parent objects, including:

• NURBS objects

• Cinema 4D spline objects

• Other Wall objects

• Floor objects

This flexibility allows walls to be created, modified, and integrated seamlessly within architectural structures.

Parametric Edge Support

Walls can now operate in two modes:

Traditional mode:

If the parent object has no parametric edges, the Wall object uses all edges of the floorplan and behaves exactly as in earlier versions.

Parametric Edge mode:

When Parametric Edges are present, walls are generated only from edges that contain Wall parameters.
This allows:

• Per-edge wall width

• Per-edge orientation/side

• Mixed wall types in one floorplan

• Automatic generation of multiple parametric objects from the same geometry

This dual approach ensures backward compatibility while providing full support for the new parametric modeling workflow.

Key Parameters:

Walls

• Parent Floor-plan: Specifies the type of floorplan to extract from the parent ArchViz parametric object for wall generation.

• Outline Type: Determines whether the wall outline is placed outside ("Out"), inside ("In"), or both ("Out-In") relative to the parent floorplan.

• Out Width & In Width: Sets the thickness of the wall's outer and inner sides, providing control over the wall's overall width.

• Height: Specifies the vertical extent of the wall, defining how tall the walls will be.

NEW FLOOR-PLAN Options:

• Outline Top & Bottom / Inline Top & Bottom / Source Top & Bottom:
  These settings are used to create a new floorplan object based on the specified criteria. Selecting "Outline" or "Inline" along with "Top" or "Bottom" determines the positioning and type of the new floorplan that is generated from the parent object. This newly created floorplan object can then be used as a starting point for additional architectural elements, enhancing the multi-level planning capabilities within Architron.
