Using facades to build a bank

[blumenmann]

I tried to build a bank (or dyke; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levee) using a facades file.

The idea was that this thing has the form of roof. So I searched for a texture and made something like a house with sloped roof. The problem at this point is that this object is not be displayed or not all objects. I think it depends on the user settings. If I zoom out the rest of the dyke apears. But this is not useful for my scenery this thing should be there the whole time. The dyke should be there always.

It was just a try and it didn't work so well. But maybe some of you could write more about it.

Here is the definition of the .fac . And some Screenshots are attached, too. Thanks for some feedback.

You could use an Object String. This allows you to repeat steadily one object:

I don't know if it works with big bank objects, espacelly at corners and bezier curves.

Thanks for your reply. Will try this. I allready created a normal object for this purpose. Will try to use it with the string.
