Guys,
I have a doubt with respect to a extrusion method. I have to extrude a tower of (15mx15m) for a height of 100 m with 4m as each floor height. The usual method which i adopt in doing this is to extrude the tower for a height of 4m (one floor) using poly extrude node and duplicate it with number of copies as 25 by the duplicate node to reach 100m.
This time around i was not able to adopt this method as i have to relate the primitives in a particular manner with some other node for which the above described procedure is not working. Hence i used a polyextrude node and keyed in 100m as the extrusion height and used the divide node to divide the polygon in to the desired number of floor which i wanted. I am facing a few problems with respect to the divide node. I used bricker polygons option in the particular node to divide my polygon, but the bricker polygon works only if i key in all the three values in x, y and z, if i am keying in “0” for x and z ,“4” (the desired number of divisions) in y the bricker polygons are not working. Right now i have just keyed in a higher value like “25” for x and z so that the number is too high for it to work on the model , “4” for y and hence i am getting the desired results on the screen. But i guess this is not the right way to do it, and i will be linking this model with one another software and i guess there will be inter operability problems if i proceed in this way. Is there a way to sort out this issue like make the bricker polygons work even when I key in “0” for x and z ,“4” for y. Or is there any other SOP node which can be used for this purpose. I even tried polysplit node but i am not able to divide the polygon equally by it, tht node is more of sketching and dividing the polygon. I have attached my test file for your reference.
