How to model a multi-face form?

Anonymous — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 20:41:27 GMT

Here is the form that i managed to create under 3dsmaax. Is there a way to reproduce it under Archicad 13?
Thanks in advance.

Please tell me even if it is unfeasable...

Yes, you can create it in archicad, or even bring in the 3ds model.
Is this a solid? or are we seeing a structure in which case it can be constructed with walls and/or roofs.

We could use a little more info about what it is and what you want to do with it to best advise.

I would create a cube using a Slab or Mesh and then create Roofs. I would cut the Slab/Mesh with the roofs to achieve the desired shape.

If you use the Mesh, you could even model the its upper part by defining Mesh points. Unfortunately the Mesh's surface cannot "curve" under itself so you would still have to do the undercuts with the Roofs.

You could try OBJECTiVE. I produced the attached image in about a minute by creating a profiled object (OBJECTiVE > Component > New Profile) and then using OBJECTiVE > Tools > Split to cut it to the required shape.
