In this article, we will explore how to use IfcBuilder methods in Eyeshot to create walls and roofs for a simple building design. We begin by generating two main Blocks: one for the North–South walls and one for the East–West walls. Each block contains the geometry and the openings belonging to its…

The following algorithm calculates the length of a pipe based on its control points. It automatically identifies whether each face of the pipe represents a cylindrical or tabulated surface and then measures the distance that the surface’s control points extend along its main axis. The resulting val…

In this article, we will use Assembly Mates to assemble the connecting rod attached.Step 1To begin, we fix the rod and add a ConcentricMate between the rod and the bearing bush. For each mate, we identify the defining faces and, for each face, its corresponding chain of parents. You can identify th…
