PLAXIS 3D Simplified Building Facade Tool

This Python script automates the creation of a simplified building facade within PLAXIS 3D.
It generates structural elements like walls, windows, doors, lintels, and footings using fixed geometric parameters and a graphical input for position and orientation.


πŸš€ Features

  • Creates facade geometry with windows, doors, and lintels
  • Automatically includes footings and wall thickness
  • Simple GUI input for x/y offset and rotation angle
  • Integrates with PLAXIS 3D through plxscripting.easy

πŸ”§ Requirements

  • PLAXIS 3D (with Python scripting enabled)
  • Python libraries:
    • plxscripting
    • easygui

πŸ“Œ Installation and Usage

➀ Install the Script as a PLAXIS Tool:

  1. Download the Python file from this repository.
  2. Copy the script into this folder:

<PLAXIS 3D installation folder>\pytools\input

Typical installation paths include:

  • C:\Program Files\Seequent\
  • C:\Program Files\Bentley\Geotechnical\
  • C:\Program Files\Plaxis\Plaxis 3D\ (older versions)
  1. Restart PLAXIS 3D.
  2. Open a project.
  3. Switch to Staged Construction mode.
  4. Go to:
    Expert > Python > Run script > Tools, and select the script name.
  5. Enter the requested offsets and rotation when prompted.
    The tool will generate the facade and output confirmation.
