Wall reveals

Anonymous — Mon, 25 Oct 2004 18:17:07 GMT

To All,
I am sorry I am pretty new for Archicad and I am sure somebody already asked for this, but I was wondering if you know how to create wall reveals without purchasing an add-on?

All comments are appreciated.

Thank you

Model the form.

Subtract it from the wall.

Put it on a hidden layer.

Thank you Matthew.
When you said "model" the form you meant another wall or a 2d shape to use as an operator?

Thank you for your reply.

I meant a piece of wall, a slab (floor), roof, or whatever is best suited to the shape you want to cut.

a common suggestion i've seen here before is to use the trussmaker add-on that is included with AC to model the operator element.
