!Restored: Archicad: wall problem

Anonymous — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 18:53:28 GMT

I don't know, maybe i'm not completely skilled in Archicad, but I often have a problem with walls. I mean, it is difficult to create a wall with not perpendicular frontal sides (for example a vertical triangle). I know that it is possible to make in Archicad 10 using slope wall, but it is difficult and not rational. Prompt me please, how to do it (or whether it is possible). Thanks! (Sorry for mistakes in grammar, I'm not an englishman)

You're correct that it's not simple.

The most common approach I've seen is to place a roof at the angles creating your triangle, then use the Solid Element Operations tools to subtract the roof from the wall.

I do so, but I thought there was another more correct way
