In this article, we will learn how to automatically generate windows, curtain walls and facades from a surface in Grasshopper.

Model Images
Due to the amount of programming, we will not provide a detailed explanation at this time.
Therefore, we recommend that you look at the video, the Grasshopper recipe images placed below or download the data to check it out.
We will explain later on how to use the programming.

How to use the Programming
We will explain how to use the Programming.
Notes on use
In this programming, surfaces such as circles cannot be used to generate.
Also, note that complex surfaces may not be successfully used.
Also, as shown in the image above, bugs may occur on the Grasshopper where the window appears to have a triangular surface at the edge.
However, when actually exported on Rhino, there is no problem, because there is no triangular surface at the edge of the window.
Surface
The first “Surface” should contain the surface.
Frame width
You can change the thickness of the window frame by changing the value of “Frame width”.
Number of horizontal windows
The number of horizontal windows can be changed by changing the value of “Number of horizontal windows”.
Number of vertical windows
You can change the number of vertical windows by changing the value of “Number of vertical windows”.
Magnification of glass size
By changing the value of “Magnification of glass size”, you can change the size of the glass.
Glass width
You can change the thickness of the glass by changing the value of “Glass width”.
