Origami is on a distinguished road
I'm encountering difficulties in meshing a building that includes balconies.

Figure 1 displays a shaded depiction of a portion of the building, while Figure 2 presents the building in STL format. In Figure 1, discernible white lines (representing edges) originate from buildings_edgeMesh.obj, extracted via surfaceFeatureExtract.

Figure 3 shows the mesh achieved using snappyHexMesh. The issue seems to be that the mesh do not snap to the feature edges, to cause there being wrinkles between the balconies and vertical walls.

Numerous adjustments have been attempted, such as modifying maximum cell number, resolving angles, adjusting feature refinement levels, surface refinement levels, and region refinement levels (see below). While some trials yielded slight improvements, the issue persists (see Figure 3). I think this may be a typical situation people come across, and there might be a setting that has eluded my attention. Could anyone offer insights into this matter? thanks for advance.

resolveFeatureAngle 30;
features {file "building.eMesh"; level 8;}
refinementSurfaces {building {level (6 6); patchInfo { type wall; } }}
refinementRegions {refinementCylinderBuilding { mode distance; levels ((50 5)(100 3));}}
