Distribute stuff along connected multiple spline segments?

Mats_Knutsson — Tue, 08 Dec 2015 10:15:38 GMT

Hi, What's the situation for this request? I have a spline shaped balcony which I want to model in detail with the railing. It's a simple railing but quite dense. 100 mm between the vertical members. It would take me quite a while to do this manually. Any ideas or methods? I've been away from ArchiCAD for a few years and am cathing up.

You can use a free object "Magic Tools" from the firm OneTools.de:

ARCHICAD 19 has new Snap Point Variant that helps in this:

The "Along Entire Element" option would handle this situation.
