Structural setout
Separate intersection points, >2’ apart
The regular approach for structural setout - parallel offset of glass faces to the back – would not yield a useful structural node

Structural setout N1 N2
N6
N3
N0 N5 N4
For this reason a different approach was used in which 1) an average vector around each node is computed from the normal vector of each face incident on that node
B1
B2
B6
B5
B4 B3
And 2) a bisector for each adjacent face pair is computed
