complex walls (arc)

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 07:08:50 GMT

Hi.

I just got the student version 17. I was wondering if it was possible to do the following in archicad.

I want to make a wall that's arced. I found the arc wall tool, but it appears that I can only make arcs that are evenly distributed. (no matter how i stretch it, etc, it's just a part of a circle).
Instead, I want to make some unevenly distributed arcs, like a snail shell i guess. If you've used illustrator, I'm imagining something you make with the pen tool.

please let me know if this is possible.

thank you in advance.

Can you sketch what you have in mind? You can always create a spline and then magic wand to apply the wall.

Thanks for the tip.

This is what I have in mind (attached image)

Could you explain a bit more on how to do the spline>wand>apply wall method?

Thank you

Draw the spline on the floor plan where you want the wall to be. Activate the wall tool, then hover your pointer over the line and press space bar and a little wand will appear in place of the pointer, and then click on the line. It will automatically trace the line with the wall.
