Angled wall base

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:52:04 GMT

Hello, I am trying to model a wall with an angled bottom base to it. In other words, if you were looking at the wall in elevation, the bottom of it would not be flat. Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks

The best way will probably be to use a Solid Element Operation with the wall as your target and a roof (at the slope and position you want) as the operator.
Then "Subtract with downwards extrusion".
You can hide the roof in a layer that can be turned off.
Don't delete it as the SEO is a live operation so delete the roof and the trim is deleted as well.
On the plus side you can move and adjust your roof to adjust the trim.

DuncanB:

Another option is to create a Complex Profile Wall; in the Help files see: Virtual Building > Construction Elements > Place a Wall/Column/Beam with a Complex Profile > Creating or Editing a Complex Profile Element.

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.
