Curved door and windows

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:30:32 GMT

Hi.

I am trying to insert a door, preferably sliding, into a curved wall... The door should be about 3500mm in width..
But I can´t seem to get my door curved..
Is it even possible?

I am adding some pictures so that it is easier to see my problem.

Thanks.

Hi!

I need to put a door in a curved wall, and also some windows
Does anyone have any tips to how I might go about to solve this?

I have tried, but the flat door just merges to the curved wall..
See attachement for screenshot...

The door also needs to be quite wide, about 3500 mm...
I also need a couple of windows.

Very greatful for help

You are probably better off modeling that door with walls/slabs/morphs/etc, there are little to none actual curved windows/doors available.

You could save it as a custom window, but that means rotating the whole thing to be face down on the 'floor' as it were. Unless you are worried about schedules, I'd just model it and leave it at that

Thank you so much for your reply.
English is not my native language, so I was just wondering what you meant with scheduels?
Scheduels as in forms/plans etc or as in amount of time? ( cause I don´t have much time, but I don´t need the drawings and plans to be 100% correct/real) It`s for a bachelor diploma assignment...

Schedules are lists of items that ArchiCAD can generate. For example a list of all windows/doors in project. You probably won't need those for your school project.

I don't know about the door but there is a curved window under the metal window folder in the library.
