Hi,
I'm trying to design a vault from a skin,(file attached). At first sigth, I reached it, but I have a problem…I haven't found the way for split this in multiple pieces (Primitives). And then group this primitives in blocks with the aim of simulate a brick.
Could someone help me, please?
Thanks
How to split a skin through a polyextrude?

Hi Josep,
you can simply turn a grid into a brick pattern by making its primitives ‘unique’ e.g. with a fuse SOP. Then shift the primitive rows to left and right either with a group SOP and transforms or by wrangling:
Next transform the pattern into a half-cylinder.
The rest is a matter of extruding, beveling and correcting the normals.

// MEASURE AND COUNT int hor = chi('horizontal') - 1; float tile = 1 / float(hor); float offset = tile * 0.25; // IDENTIFY ANY OTHER ROW float any_other = @primnum % ( hor * 2) ; any_other += 0.1; // ASSIGN SHIFT DIRECTION float shift = sign(any_other - hor); @P.x += offset * shift; // MOVE BACK EDGES a.k.a. CUT-OFF @P.x = clamp(@P.x, -0.5, 0.5);
Next transform the pattern into a half-cylinder.
// CONVERT PLANE TO HALF-CYLINDER vector bbox = relbbox(0, @P); @P.x = sin(@P.x * $PI); @P.z = bbox.y; @P.y = sin(bbox.x * $PI);
The rest is a matter of extruding, beveling and correcting the normals.

In your setup: Dissolve first and extrude later? Also set polyextrude to ‘divide into: individual elements’ and activate ‘output back’.
