Historic stone walls

I am looking for any recommendations as to how to approach this project involving irregular shaped walls and intricate historic window reveals. Especially in plan view.

 

Do you recommend modelling things? Or just 2D drawing in this case?

 

Here'a a sample of what I would like to achieve:

Many thanks guys.

Hi @alexliz ,

 

 You can use the complex geometry method for walls and apply reveals to openings; that was the only way to deal with those different historic details.

I assume by complex geometry, Mahmoud means 'Polygonal' wall geometry.

This can only be used with a basic wall structure, not with composites and complex profiles.

Exactly, I meant the polygonal wall, thanks Barry.
