array - a noob question

Anonymous — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 09:10:04 GMT

hi everyone ..i am a very new user of archicad (advanced 3ds max user),i thought i might give it a try in modeling ,the program looks pretty easy & user friendly..

but am stuck now where i want to array windows on a circular wall block..i cant find any option to define a circular angle for an array...is this option available in archicad 9 ?
any help would be much appreciated..

You can array around a curve, use the Multiply command, and select the Rotate radio button. But this won't work with windows. I suggest you array construction lines as you want them, then "Drag a Copy" of your window.

(Drag a Copy works for windows because you can only copy them within the wall, so it follows the curve anyway).

Hope this helps.
