  • You can find a list of all available operations in the CGA reference.

Extrusion

Extrudes the input shape to a given height.

Lot --> extrude(13) Mass

Transformation

Used to place, orient, and size the scope and geometry. 

Mass --> s('0.75, '1, '0.75)
         center(xz)
         Block

Component split

Splits a shape into its sub-components, for example, a volume into its faces.

Block --> comp(f) { side : Facade | top : Roof. }

Subdivision split

Splits a geometry along scope-axes.

Facade --> split(y) { 1 : Facade. | ~3 : Floor  | 1 : Facade. }*
Floor  --> split(x) { 1 : Floor.  | ~2 : Window | 1 : Floor.  }*

Insert assets
