The starting point was a parametric pointed arch. From there I went on to develop 3 more families with nested families for the stone “Insert” and the glazed timber “Window Unit”. The idea is to set up a modular system where you can swap out the Insert and the Window Unit for different versions without starting again from scratch. By keeping the names constant, all the parameter linking remains intact.
I am using the nested planting family hack to easily scale the columns. The intention being to allow for more complex capitals and base mouldings, while retaining ease of scaling.
All was fine until I checked out the windows in the plan view. First of all the top part of the insert tends to show up, blocking everything else. This is easily solved but I was still…
