Incrementally Extending & Receding Floor plates of a tower?

Hi Everyone,

I am new to Grasshopper and have been working on a parametric tower. I would like to achieve the following:

The floor plates Cantilever on one side of the tower, The ‘Y size’ of the plates would increase by increments of 0.250 towards the top.
For the floor plates above the ‘Cantilever plates,’ the ‘Y size’ of the plates would recede by increments of 0.632.
I want the first 13 floors to remain as they are.

I have split the floor into three groups, Regular Plates, Cantilever Plates, & Receding Plates.

Just wanting to know if it would be possible to achieve the above, ideally using a slider or a list. I have attached a reference image and my definition below.

Would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction,

Thanks

Is this the same with what you described?

Hi Hyungsoo,

Firstly, thanks for the quick reply! That is almost exactly what I wanted to achieve apart from the fact that the Cantilever is on both sides.

Is it possible to assign this command to just one side of the building or will it require a different approach?

Thanks

Of course that is more simple.

I have been working on another tower option in which the floor plates are made using poly-lines, I am trying to incorporate your definition but having a bit of trouble.

I am trying to get "Angle 5" and "Angle 6" (under "Cantilever/Receding Floor Plates") to move along the Y-axis in the same manner as the tower above.

Is it possible to incorporate the definition? I have attached my Definition below, Thanks.
