Custom Assemblage Method

Custom Evaluation Criteria Custom evaluation criteria – ‘Open to Sky Index’

Open to sky index gives us a ratio between the number of horizontal voxel faces that are unobstructed by the assemblage by number of horizontal faces that are obstructed.

Logic Diagram

Since this index is a ratio of open face to covered faces, the range is between 0 and 1.
