Modular Panel System With Interlocking Edges – Best Houdini Workflow?


Thoi

Recommended Posts

Hi,
I’m designing a physical modular column made from flat panels. Each panel needs a simple interlocking edge (tabs/slots or tongue-and-groove), repeated over several stacked segments for 3D printing. 

Is there a good procedural way in Houdini to:

  • generate the panels

  • add parametric interlocking geometry on the edges

  • control number of segments

Should I build one locking unit and copy it to edges, or is there a better workflow for parametric joints?

Any tips, nodes, or example HIPs would be very helpful!
