Rather than asking you to "guess" the scale factor to get the three-dimensional shape you want, RhinoVAULT will determine the scale for you based on the desired height of the final solution. The default value for the target height is 25% of the length of the diagonal of the bounding box of the Form Diagram (essentially of the bounding box of the footprint of your shell). This value tends to produce well-proportioned geometries. - - -note on max heigh +
