We’re introducing a new springer typology to the plugin: the Wall Springer.
When a vault begins at a wall, several of its lower voussoirs may intersect the wall plane. To ensure a clean architectural interface, the Wall Springer identifies all intersecting voussoirs and merges them into a single continuous block, preserving their geometry while extending them to sit flush on the supporting wall. The result is a springer that seamlessly bridges between the lower wall and the vault, while providing a clear, uninterrupted surface for the wall above to continue.
Fully integrated with the vault generation workflow, this typology ensures proper support conditions for wall‑borne vaults and maintains geometric continuity across the entire assembly.
Available now in the latest release of the plugin.
