Slanted wall

How would I create a slanted wall like this in ArchiCAD 29 using the wall tool.

Thanks

Operating system used: Windows 11

Or, you may be better off modeling it using the Morph tool.

If you model it with the Wall tool, the floor plan of the sides walls will be their length at the top (before SEO) because at the moment, SEOs are unfortunately are not reflected in the floor plan for most element types. With the Morph, the floor plan display will be better, too.

I would just set the side walls as Overhead All. You gain nothing by showing the window treatment as cut, if anything it would just be confusing...

....or you could just use the Opening Tool to cut them in profile to look how you want.

And I believe the voids created by the Opening tool read correctly in plan (someone correct me if I'm wrong), plus the wall will still behave as a wall and be read as a wall (take-offs, scheduling,....etc)

That could work, then your cut is actually linked to the panels, and it gives you the option to set the linetypes to what ever you want. Always forget that is an option now with custom shaped openings.

Symbolic Cut with a dashed override, and Projected.

Yes, cutting out the triangular shapes from the Wall with Openings is a cleaner solution for floor plan display. This is a Slab + two Walls with triangular Openings in them.
