Hello
I don’t know how to model terraces with platforms as in the example below:
Manually I made the terraces, I need to program them into gh somehow

Hi IIya,
I see your building, but what defines a terraces? What are you trying to model in relation to the geometry you currently have?
Hello @Japhy
Sorry for the late reply. First of all I need to create stepped building segments in gh as I did manually in Rhino:
Ribbon walls should then be created along the edges as a kind of flexible futuristic facade element that frames the building and gives it a unique and modern character. These elements can fulfill a decorative and functional role, adding interesting geometric shapes and providing shade or protection from the sun on the roof (they can also serve to visually integrate the building into the surrounding architectural environment):
More questions about how to extrude successive stepped sections from the bottom surface of a building. I’ve tried splitting the curves, projecting them onto the top surface, and constructing vertical secant surfaces that I assume will cut the floors…but I’m confused about cutting and sectioning the surfaces and they don’t cut correctly.
So I think we need to somehow extrude the split surfaces in sequence up to the top secant surface, which will cut them with a horizontal plane at the points of the projected curve
Hey, does no one have any ideas for terraces or did I explain it badly somehow?
Hey @mohovilka ,
I am sure you have your reasons to be creating the shapes the way you’re *doing it (i.e., offsetting as polyline, then patching, etc.) so I don’t intend to change what you have, plus you’re using some plug-ins I don’t have installed here - however a ‘simple’ start I show below could entail ruled surfaces from your initial guide splines, then extrude these with varying heights using the graph mapper:

Perhaps it pays to start with making sure your terraced object(s) exists first and prior to further operations.
Hello @René_Corella
Thank you so much for help! You have correctly started with building surfaces from the initial spline guides and extruding them with different heights using a graph. In any case, this is a sketch model of the building, so the rest of the details and elements of facades will be finalized in another program.
