The two next figures show a few changes of input from the convex/concave building. The displaced glazing at the centre is obtained just by modify XDist, YDist at the start and the end wall element of the glazing section. Thus, the walls along the glazing section keep the same curving as the facade. Without design of windows, the automation run even faster. It is also often that high buildings have no windows. The columns are not designed in the displaced glazing. You just specify location of columns in region of input for the Beams & Columns.

The next two figures show a simple design of a 10-floors storage building, where most of
the facades are covered by walls. To delete all windows from the previous model, you only
need to replace all of the previous values with zero (0) in all excel input cells with wDist.
Using symmetric property of the building, you can copy input of the Front and the Right
side, paste to the Back and Left side, respectively.
Horizontal glass walls are designed surrounding the four sides of the building. Load-carrying internal walls, beams and columns are not modelled in the below two conceptual figures. They are easily created from the input file.
