Hello People,

I'm trying to do the lower part of the curved wall (attached) its an extra piece were Profiler may be used, but when it comes to bending it to follow the lower curved edge of the wall, its not easy, any advice?

1.
In the Plan View create the Profile (A.). I used 1/2 a circle, a line to close the shape and Grouped them.

Draw 1/2 the Path (B.) using the polyline tool, mirror a copy (assures symmetry), select both halves and choose Tools/ Unify

With the Profile selected choose Tools/Profiler, I set the Profile Anchor Point (A.) and Space Bar clicked on the end node of the Path (B.)

2.
Set up the 3D view as shown and open the 3D window

Choose File/GDL Objects/Save 3D Model as...

Give the Object a name and save as a GDL Object
_______

I used the GDL object to cut the wall by using Edit/Solid Element Operation

have fun,

Tools/ Unify

Its always nice to pick up some feature I haven't used in these threads. It looks like this only works with lines/polylines - is that correct? When will the unify come out for walls?

That would be very nice, wouldn't it?

Managed to squeeze a coffee with Saif into today's mess, and I liked what I saw - great design, that hopefully millions will be seeing for years to come! Oh, we sorted the profile thing too.

Great work, Saif - do post an image when you can.
