In the previous assignment, I was reading in pictures to assign colours to the structure. Although, in the previous project, I used three-point components, and this time I would like to create four-point panels. The first step (step 5A) was to create the adaptive components as seamless rectangle panels for the roof and wall surface. Also, I deleted the three-point components that I created last time since we did not need them anymore.

Steps 5B and 6 were used to offer users options to change the image used for mapping on the structure’s surface. I created a list for the image data. I then created a few options for users, including using the original image, flipping the image vertically, horizontally, and mirroring the image.

In step 7B, the components we created in step 5A overridden their display colours. Moreover, in step 7B, the panel parameters were adjusted based on colour values. By using the colour.Hue function, a list of colour numbers has been created. Then, in order to limit the discrepancy, the list was assigned with newMin and newMax, which the users can later change. Then the thickness of the panels was related to the colour of the panels. In order to get an embossed effect, the users would want to make sure that both the newMin and the newMax value are below zero; to get the debossed effect, users would want to have both the newMin and the newMax value above zero.
