Description

This is a continuation of the model created in Module 3. Values are firstly entered for U and V to create a number of panels. "Rect_Seamless Panel-4pt" is selected as the family type for the panels here. Three boolean nodes are added to provide the option of filtering out panels. By entering index 0 or 1, users can decide if they want to enable boolean nodes or not. An image is then imported from the file and is mapped to wall panels using "Element.OverrideColorView". For this model, a list is created for choosing the display option for the image. Simply by entering the index number (0, 1, 2 or 3), users can mirror or flip the image as they desired. Furthermore, each panel is assigned with a brightness color, which is used to adjust its panel thickness. By selecting "true" or "false" for the flip option, users are able to view the debossed effect or the embossed effect.
