Ventilated façade construction

[nicnoc]

Bye to all,
for a project I have to build a building with a ventilated wall.
I have already defined the "structural" scheme of the facade:
- vertical currents fixed to the wall
- horizontal currents on which anchors are available for brick plates.

it is possible to realize a parametric family (magari with function similar to the glazed facade to insert the pillars and that it recognizes the windows of the wall - a little like when I join two adjacent walls and in one there is a hole)
so I can speed up during the compute phase?

You mean a family of horizontal and vertical currents and slabs, interrupting when there is a window in the wall?

 

[nicnoc]

Yes, yes.

I am not sure, but try to make a family of currents using the " generic model based on wall", to see, once inserted in the drawing, if in correspondence of the window, the current is cut.
of course the "empty" of the window (family windows) used in the wall, must be "extended" until the thickness of the wall + currents and panels

 

[gfrank]

another solution:
a) a wall on which you insert vertical and horizontal currents, by means of the extrusion control wall
b) a second wall (the panel) which is subsequently joined to the first with the command "join" so that it recognizes the voids of the "main" wall

of course, the gaps of the families of doors and windows used in the project, must have a sufficient extension to cut even the wall-pannello

Thank you as soon as I have given this exam I will cling a little... let me know that I managed to do... .
