Background

Lobby bench featuring stone cladding over a metal framework. The design is intended to appear as three solid stone blocks but is actually composed of twelve pieces: three on the outer faces, six on the end faces (three per side), and three on the underside.

Challenge

Ensuring the system correctly interprets the piece layout so that faces are wrapped properly requires creating laminates, then dividing those laminates into additional pieces to achieve the correct orientation. To produce mitered edges on the end faces, it’s also necessary to split and delete certain edges so the system can accurately recognize the layout.
