[0012] S32, the building plane is deepened combined with the model skin profile, and other areas of the building body are modeled, such as the modeling of the entrance, canopy, roof fifth vertical surface and other parts, to form the final building shape;

[0013] S33, the final building shape is rendered.

[0014] Preferably, the inclination angle α is 10°.

[0015] Preferably, the curve in S13 is divided into 92 segments.

[0034] S1, design the profile of the curtain wall:

[0035] S11, as shown in Figure 2 , set the inclination angle a of the overall curtain wall I;

[0036] S12, form a regular smooth reference curve in AutoCAD by "curve" command, then import it into Rhino to generate the building shape control boundary curve by "rebuild curve" command, as shown in Figure 3 , and then generate the building shape reference surface by Rhino "curve lofting" command, as shown in Figure 4 .

[0037] S13, import the building boundary control curve into AutoCAD, then divide the curve equally by "curve equal division" command, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , and use the divided curve as the curtain wall unit, that is, install a curtain wall unit for each divided curve;

[0038] S2, curtain wall unit design: the left and right sides of the curtain wall unit are aluminum plate area I-1 and glass area I-2, as shown in Figure 8 , and the curtain wall unit is bent to meet the modeling of the curved surface of the building. The proportion of aluminum plate area I-1 and glass area I-2 can be adjusted according to the position of the curtain wall unit, but the type of curtain wall unit should not be too much, otherwise it will increase the difficulty of production.

[0039] S3, modeling and rendering:

[0040] S31, use "copy" and "move" commands in Rhino to arrange a number of curtain wall units in sequence to form a vertical curtain wall unit component group, then use "rectangular surface" command to create a reference surface, and then use "surface flow" command to flow the curtain wall unit group to the previously created building shape target surface to form a building shape with curtain wall units, complete the modeling, that is, realize the whole curtain wall I modeling;

[0042] S33, render the final building shape, as shown in Figure 10 . In this modeling method, the wave reflection is uniform, making the building natural.

[0043] The inclination angle α is 10°, and the inclination angle set here is 10°, which can be reselected according to the material strength, building shape, etc. in other types of buildings.

[0044] The curve in S13 is equally divided into 92 segments, that is, the whole curtain wall I is divided into 92 curtain wall units.

[0045] The height x width x thickness of the curtain wall unit is 26.1 x 3 x 0.35 m, that is, the size of the curtain wall unit.

[0046] The construction scale of the standard unit is formed by the division of the curve, forming the curtain wall unit and the window size which is easy to construct, considering that the construction thickness of the curtain wall must meet the construction needs, and the size and position of the window of the curtain wall unit, the gradual form of the curtain wall unit is designed in combination with the internal function design of the modeling design, the design logic is that the curtain wall unit aluminum plate area of the part close to the backstage is larger, the glass area is smaller, the part close to the lobby part of the curtain wall glass area is largest and the aluminum plate area is smallest, and the specific design is as follows.

[0047] The curtain wall unit is divided into four types, and the width ratio of the aluminum plate area I-1 and the glass area I-2 is as follows: curtain wall unit one 1, 900:2100 mm; curtain wall unit two 2, 1300:1700 mm; curtain wall unit three 3, 1700:1300 mm; curtain wall unit four 4, 2100:900 mm.
