Method of manufacturing complex three-dimensional building surfaces

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform a method comprising:
• receiving dimensions of a building surface, including a surface length and a surface height;
• receiving dimensions of a surface material unit, including a material length and a material height;
• receiving design parameters defining a three-dimensional design over the building surface;
• partitioning the three-dimensional design into a plurality of three-dimensional segments based on both the three-dimensional design and the dimensions of the surface material unit;
• and
• generating a set of milling instructions for cutting a plurality of surface material units into the plurality of three-dimensional segments;
• wherein the design parameters comprise a design element and one of a plurality of design styles;
• wherein the design element comprises an image element, a drawn element, or both;
• and
• wherein each of the plurality of design styles comprises a predefined value for each of a plurality of shape parameters.
