Curved Base Battening Item?

Anonymous — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 05:10:56 GMT

does anyone know of library item that will allow me to do this battening with a curved bottom?

or have one that they are willing to share??

or know if theres one in the standard library that i just cant seem to find??

NOTE: i do not want to do this with complex profile as i have about 40 to do and there all different width openings.

thanks

I had to do something very similar last week and the quickest solution I found was Fence Vertical 13 in Fences and Railings 13 (ArchiCAD lib) and used a very quick custom profile (drawn between the posts in elevation) and then did a quick SEO.

was quick enough to do the fencing around 13 units.

Personally, I would just draw an arc (dashed) with a note saying "to be removed".

Great solution! I find drawing an element once as a 3D object is the best solution.
