Coffee Break - Auto Hybrid Objects for Facade Design
Freeform 3D modelling workflows are typically fluid, and require phased iteration in order to reach an end design goal. This creates a natural tension between the model and the Top/Plan representation of that model. In this Coffee Break, we’ll look at how to limit the 2D re-drawing work by clever application of the Auto Hybrid object.
