Masonry Generator¶

Procedural masonry wall creation tool with customizable blocks and mortar

What is it?¶

Masonry Generator is a specialized tool for creating masonry walls with customizable blocks, mortar, and arrangement patterns. It's designed for architectural visualization and detailed environment creation, offering precise control over brick dimensions, staggering, and mortar thickness.

Access and Shortcuts¶

Pie Menu: Hard Surface section → "Masonry Generator"
Operator: mesh.masonry_wall_add
Requirements: Object mode
No modal interface - parameters adjustable via operator panel

Workflow¶

Activate Masonry Generator from the pie menu
A masonry wall is created immediately with default settings
Adjust parameters in the operator panel (bottom-left corner)
Modify dimensions, block size, and mortar thickness
Enable/disable block staggering for different patterns
Wall updates automatically as you change parameters
Finalize when satisfied with the result

Instant masonry creation with real-time parameter adjustment

Parameters¶

Wall Dimensions: - Wall Length: Total length of the masonry wall - Wall Height: Total height of the masonry wall

Block Properties: - Block Width: Width of individual masonry blocks - Block Height: Height of individual masonry blocks
- Block Depth: Depth/thickness of individual blocks

Mortar Settings: - Mortar Thickness: Gap size between blocks - Stagger Blocks: Enable traditional brick staggering pattern

Result: - Single mesh object containing all geometry - Integrated blocks and mortar in unified mesh - Ready for materials and further detailing

Tips¶

Start with default values and adjust incrementally for best results
Enable staggering for traditional brick wall appearance
Adjust mortar thickness to match real-world proportions
Wall is created as single mesh - separate blocks/mortar in Edit mode if needed
Perfect for architectural visualization and game environments
Use multiple wall segments for complex shapes
Great base for texturing and material work
