Window wall custom upper closure

Das Design — Sun, 07 Jul 2024 18:03:04 GMT

I'm modeling a building using a specific woodcrete brick system, and I need the brick walls to be visible all around the wall closure. I've managed to achieve this with a custom wall closure (see attached picture). I need it to appear exactly the same way on the window lintel, as well as under the sill and stool.

Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this? Thanks in advance for your answers.

on plan is ok

section I want to adjust

Lintel in that system

Operating system used: Windows

Wall closures are 2D symbols only.

If you were to create a horizontal cutting plane through your window in 3D, you would find that the closures are not really there.

The plan view is a 2D symbolic view.

The sections are live from the model.

Is it possible to edit exisitng window model from archicad library? Maybe I could add it as morph so it would be visible in live model view but i can find model modify option.

If you know what you are doing to edit the GDL files, it is possible.

But the default Archicad GDL objects are a bit of a nightmare to alter - so many macros.

Plus you will need to do it again every time there is an update to the library.

Personally, I don't dare try and i am OK with my GDL skills.

Create a 2D overlay for the sections or create complex profile beams that you can place in 3D.
