Basically, only North facades (say azimuth &lt; 45˚ or &gt; 315˚) should have setbacks, while other facades should be straight. I normally use extruded objects as building envelopes, which I then split in the y direction to get floors. I therefore thought I might check the orientation of the building envelope and do a case, to distinguish buildings with setbacks from buildings without. Now, it seems that an extruded object cannot use the geometry.angle<SPAN style="color: #000000;">(azimuth) function so I am kind of stuck as to how to approach the problem.</SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="color: #000000;">Do you have any suggestions as to how to proceed?</SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="color: #000000;">Regards,</SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="color: #000000;">Nic</SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 08 Jul 2014 09:44:28 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/controlling-facade-setbacks-with-azimuth/m-p/174892#M1109 NicolaiSteinø 2014-07-08T09:44:28Z Re: Controlling facade setbacks with azimuth https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/controlling-facade-setbacks-with-azimuth/m-p/174893#M1110 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Amendment: To be precise, what I want is that only buildings whose MAIN facades are facing North should have setbacks on that facade.
