Vertical logo

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 14:40:43 GMT

I'm trying to create a vertical sign with depth. For instance, in plan I could create the logo in mesh. But I'd like to rotate it from horizontal to vertical axis. Is this possible with any of the tools? I tried creating a module but when I bring the horizontal object into the elevation, it is no longer a solid element but 2D.

AEwing:

You can rotate the Mesh (or other elements) by converting it to an Object, see in the Help files: Virtual Building > Parametric Objects > Graphic Creation of Custom Objects > Saving 3D Models as Objects.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Thanks! I have figured out how to save the mesh out as an object (.gsm). I've tried saving it as a door, window (can't find either of those files in door/window or embedded libraries though they show up in my library manager) and object (does show up in objects folder). At any rate would like to now rotate the axis from horizontal to vertical on one of these files. Do I really have to get into gdl code to do that or is there a simple way?

I figured it out (couldn't originally get to the help folder you mentioned). I needed to set my view to 3d side view 90 degrees. It's working now. Very powerful.

Did you try following the suggestion by David Maudlin? Here it is:
