Accessories - curved wall

Anonymous — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 11:23:32 GMT

Hi,

There is an object that show the surface of a wall on the plan. It use the wall add-on accessories.
The problem is that when the wall is bend on a certain direction, the information displayed is inversed (When the wall is bending toward the exterior).

Do you have any clue on how to have the information of the bending of a wall in order to ask the object to inverse the information?

What is the name of the accessory object you are using?

The problem with the accessories is they are not supported by Graphisoft even though the ads-on gets updated to run for each version.

Thank you for the answer.

It is an object developped on the french archicad forum archicadlink (not by me).
I am aware that the accessories aren't supported anymore, but I wanted to know if there is a way or if it was a deadend.

I would suspect it is a problem with the object rather than the accessory add-on.
Can you contact who ever created the object?

Yes, and he doesn't know how to have this information.
He created the object for study only, and doesn't want to pass too many time on it (He won't use it).
The object is not locked, so anybody registered on the forum can modify it.

Hi Barry,
I am the author of this object (in French)
I can not find solutions to this problem, I disabled by default the curved walls because of the bug

Thanks for posting the object Yves.
I will have a look later when I get a chance.
No promise that I can fix anything though.
I have dabbled with slab accessories before, but not really wall accessories and certainly not for curved walls.

The information provided in Wall accessories depend heavily on if the wall is mirrored, and which side of the pivot line you click when the wall accessorie is placed.
