Best way to ceate a 3D pattern on concrete

Maria_K — Wed, 11 May 2022 09:53:22 GMT

Dear fellow Archicad users,

I am modeling a concrete facade for a project. The facade is supposed to have some kind of pattern (see attached picture for inspiration). What do you suggest would be the best way to model it in Archicad for a nice

3D effect?
I have thought about curtain wall or Accessories wall addon using AC profiles.

Any other suggestions?

/Maria

SEO - cutouts with Morph-solids which of which You turn off the Layer of the Morphs later.

Thanks! It's a good idea. Only that it would be a bit time consuming if you have a large wall area and a pattern that requires many morphs

To get the pattern easily - you could use the facade-tool instead of single morphs - then SEO the same way...

You can do the same using either the "Window Niche" or the "Opening Tool" and then you don't need to use SEOs, or manage extra layers and if you move the wall they will move with it.

I think that probably the best way to do it! Thank you
