Hello,

Is there a way to extrude a rectangular building on a non-rectangular shaped parcel?

Thanks

Another thought, is it possible to determine the centroid of the irregularly shaped parcel/polygon and then place/create a shape (rectangle or maybe square) in the centre of it that is is a certain area?

I know this is kind of the opposite type of thinking in that normally we would take a shape and maybe split it then use setbacks, then extrude a tower for example.

thanks

Try

@StartRule 
 Lot --> 
 innerRectangle(scope){shape : Ex | remainder : NIL}
 
 Ex --> extrude(10)‍‍‍‍‍

maybe center(AXIS) and primitiveCube(W,H,D) would be interesting as well.
