Setback after height?

MicahTaylor — Mon, 13 Apr 2015 20:02:12 GMT

This may be something simple I am missing, but I was wondering how I can set a building model back after x units of extrusion.

here is my simple rule...

@Range(10,50)

attr height = 0

@Range(0.2,1)

attr Trans = 0.5

@StartRule

Lot-->

set(material.opacity, Trans)

extrude(height) A

A-->

split(y){~2 : B}*

B-->

color("#ffffff")

For example, how do I bring the walls of the block 7 units inward on all sides after 20 units elevation?....(where it looks like a smaller volume building on top of a larger volume building) (See terrible drawing for example maybe) Thanks!

Nevermind..Found it...its "offset"...not setback.

@Range(10,50)

attr height = 0

@Range(0.2,1)

attr Trans = 0.5

@StartRule

Lot-->

set(material.opacity, Trans)

extrude(height) A

A-->

split(y){~2 : B}*

B-->

case (split.index <= 3) :

color("#fff00b")

else:

offset(-7, inside)
