Molding?

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 06:47:46 GMT

Hello again,

As this forum always have the solution there it is.
I live in Bordeaux, France, and here most of the house built before 1950 are in stone.
At the top of the front wall there is " Stone Molding".
But it is always at least 20cm thick.
How to modify the molding thickness in Archicad?

Can be done with morph tool, but it won't be easy to make small adjustments to it (in my opionion).

I would use complex profile wall / beam. You might need a layer with different intersection group priority, to stop it from interfering with other parts of the model.

Some of the bits, I would save to objects and place those.

I would also consider the output scale (1:100 / 1:50 / 1:20) to determine the level of detail of the model.

Old ArchiCAD 15 project attached (so no morphs available )

You could make your own 'Stone Molding' with the profile manager.
I've put in an example of a flat roof finish:
