I will be in St Louis in about 10 days time for the BiLT event. I’m doing a lab where I will walk people through the system I have developed for creating modular classical columns.
By coincidence, my good friend Marcello (Mr Simply Complex) shared a Corinthian column the other day, so I decided to download it and take a look. It’s a very nice demonstration of what can be done with conceptual massing, and … it weighs in at under 12mb. That may seem quite a lot, but “Point World” is notorious for generating huge files, so in my book he did a great job.

My own modular system is mostly based on the traditional family editor, and aims at “good enough” representation of classical form while allowing for all five classical orders, scalable, round and square columns, smooth and fluted shafts, full columns, half columns, attached corner columns … there is a huge range of possibilities once you attempt to model real classical buildings (eg Project Soane)
I have two different styles of…
