Pixelation Control - Splitting surfaces

[archosamasaleh (Archsaleh)]

I’m working on this attached model, and I have some questions. How can I extract all the side parts and control them using a garsshopper? I colored some of these parts yellow in the screenshot below. I want to create here some curtuin walls, door to outside of the roof, openens, and so on. How can I extract them parametrically as surfaces? I tried the list item component, but it’s giving me the entire sides of the cube, but I just need the parts, like I colored them yellow in the screenshot.

How can I control the height of the cubes so I can have the minimum height of 3 meters after the second floor so I can have spaces there?

Thanks!

How to model this volume !?

I started with something I did yesterday: And in ~45 minutes, got from there to this: [Le Corbusier_2022Oct29a] Le Corbusier_2022Oct29a.gh (25.7 KB) It’s not exactly correct but maybe it will get you started? P.S. A code change and some parameters modified… still not quite there but I’m done.

Reminds me of this one:

Yeah, but after the massing concept, I want to start making architectural plans and sections. So I started a Revit file, but I want to work on separated surfaces, not solid geometry, if that makes sense.

It will take forever if I did it manually.

You can compare the mid point of each segment of all the rectangles/squares , group by similar members (with same X,Y … projected) and pick the highest 2 elements.
Extrude vertically the last element by its distance to the second last.
