Kelly, T. and Wonka, P. (2011) Interactive architectural modelling with procedural extrusions. ACM Transactions on Graphics, 30(2), (doi: 10.1145/1944846.1944854)

Abstract

We present an interactive procedural modelling system for the exterior of architectural models. Our modelling system is based on procedural extrusions of building footprints. The main novelty of our work is that we can model difficult architectural surfaces in a procedural framework, e.g. curved roofs, overhanging roofs, dormer windows, interior dormer windows, roof constructions with vertical walls, buttresses, chimneys, bay windows, columns, pilasters, and alcoves. We present a user interface to interactively specify procedural extrusions, a sweep plane algorithm to compute a two-manifold architectural surface, and applications to architectural modelling.
