We define a rectangular panel using an Edge Surface that connects nodes according to paired point (n,-n). Using a position value greater than 1 projects the node out of the cellular array. Using diagonal pairs allows for the overlap effect of the rain screen.

The panels created for both directions to accommodate all options, using 2 position values to allow for a staggering effect for each direction (total of four panels):

We apply the following population layout matrix to accommodate a change of direction on the ridge line and a staggering effect of the overlapping panels. We populate the model on top of a rib-structure generated based on the dual point-cloud data using the Add toggle, selecting an Edge Surface generation following the Population-by-Matrix method.

The Resulted Generative Model:

• Creating Rain Screen panels with ParaCloud Modeler
• Populating the Point-Cloud Model
• Component Population Layout
• ParaCell Case Study: Staggered Space Frame
• Populating Components with Performance Matrices
