Craftsman Column GDL

Anonymous — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:39:36 GMT

Does anyone know where I can get a craftsman column GDL? I'm mainly interested in the squared tapered column, either with or without a base.

I had no luck last year for a pseudo historic renovation and made my own with the complex profile.

Based, sort-of, in these:

I don't do GDL, but I needed a versatile column, so Frank Lazar made one for me. It is here... http://www.objectsonline.com/product_info.php?products_id=1545&osCsid=b041679f68644e544f73703b4725ed4c

The image doesn't seem to go through the options unless you click on the little side image, but you can change just about everything.. taper top and bottom.. add moldings... etc.

Thanks for the help everyone. I may end up purchasing your object down the road, Rick. But, I actually spent a few hours and made my own using the polygon prism shape w/ some added trim.

While I don't make anything off it ... for future reference it is well worth $18 as for time saved:) It is quite flexible.

Abvent bought Objects OnLine, then later closed the shop. You might try contacting Ferenc or maybe Rick will post back with some information.

Whenever I get stuck on modelling an element, I first think about how it will be constructed.

In the case of craftsman details, considered that they are constructed of wood. So I have built those columns using complex wall profiles. Create 1 profile & surround the column with it. Very simple.

Architecture must represent the real world. While we can push boundaries in design the bottom line is that it has to be constructed to come to fruition.

I use complex walls because I can also model the plynth & trims below it (including banding & rowlocks in the coursing). Structurally I use a common column for the centre core.

I dug up the current copy and the macro it calls and combined them into one library container. AC 12 and up.

I don't have the animated gif showing the versatility, and certainly it could be spiced up with more interactive editing hotspots, etc., but on "as-is" I can send you a link for the download. I didn't follow objectsonline closed shop.
maybe a simple paypal?
