Build a Castle

Design and build a castle that can withstand siege from any side.

Use Linear and Circular Patterns to make repetitive features

Use variables to dimension features and modify them easily

Using Patterns to Make a Tower

Circular Pattern

To repeat notches, select Feature pattern from the drop-down list of Circular Pattern and choose the Extrude (the first notch) from Features list as Feature to Pattern. Select any circle with same center as the Axis of pattern to create “Instance count” number of copies of the first notch.

Linear Pattern

You can use it to create slots on wall, or replicate towers in the 4 corners. Select Part or Feature pattern to repeat, and a line along which to create the pattern (Direction). Distance is the gap between the patterns and count is the number of replications. You can select Second direction to create pattern in rectangular grid (placement of towers).

Using Variables to Make a Wall

Creating Variables

Click variable icon, give it a name and a value

Using Variables

You can use them in places where you can enter numerical values

Note: Remember to define variables before using them or to move them up on the list

Changing the variable value and example usage

Double click the variable on Feature list and update the value

By changing the value of slot width and slot distance we can change the property of the entire wall
