GH walls created as Trapezoid walls in AC!?

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 09:09:38 GMT

Hello,

It seems that any wall created within GH, appears in ArchiCAD as a TRAPEZOID wall.
This means that the AC options for that wall, once unlocked, are 'trapezoid', and not straight, and this makes it impossible to 'offset edge' or some other wall options.

This also happens after making sure that the wall settings in GH are 'basic' and 'straight'.

Any idea on how to manage this issue?
It renders creation of walls quite problematic if you plan to work with these walls in a later stage in the AC project.

Thanks!

I think after exploring it a bit more, the confusion comes from the fact that:

- Despite using a multi-segment polyline in AC, the resulting wall creation through GH is multiple separate wall elements.

- In order to see and edit these walls in AC with straight wall options such as the 'offset' command, you can GROUP the segments in AC after they have been generated, and then selecting them as a group and 'suspend groups' (normal workflow).

This is related to the post https://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=59831.
Hope this helps someone who encounters the same confusion as I did.
