Please help me with this wall. As the picture show below, I need to building it in ArchiCAD. I don't know how to build a wall tilted in angle.

check under Extras-Accesories-Wall Extras.

If that does not help you, you can read the following post

Although there is some detail to work out in the final model, you create tilted walls by drawing a thickened wall. Use the profiler add-on to create a shape to subtract from the wall using the solid element operations.

This is exactelly what I want for this 3d model rendering, but I didn't get the idea of step 2. Could you tell me where can I find the profiler to add-on to create a shape to subtract? Thank you for your time and help

my boss doesn't want me to attach picture on the website, so I have to delete the picture from here. I am sorry if this is the problem.

You can load it by using your Add-On Manager located in the tools menu. When that opens, go to Edit list of available add-ons >> click on search for more add-ons. The Profiler Add-on is located in the goodies folder of your ArchiCAD application.

There is another string in the Working in ArchiCAD forum http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=2694 that has some further discussion on tilted walls. If you haven't checked it out, it would be worth your while as there are some issues associated with tilted walls including plan view representation, window and door frames....

HTH,

Happy Friday!

Thank you for your help. I did also check that forum. But I have more problem to make it work.

Is Add-On Manager can find in ArchiCAD 7.0? Because I couldn't find that option.

Oh no...7.0....Tools menu >> "Load Add-on" Then, browse to Goodies folder...

but this will not help you...There is no solid element operations in 7.0. for step #3 Sorry...

Upgrade!

It's ok! Thank you for your time and help. I'll try the other way from the forum that you just suggest me to read

By all means!

Until then:

Place a zero thickness roof plane starting from the bottom of the wall; tilt it accordingly (best done in 3D window), stretch the wall to go through the roof (again best done in 3D window), trim to roof (bottom in this case), put the wall back to its desired height, hide the roof layer, viola and other string instruments!

Thank you, Djordje:
I almost feel crazy to figure out to make this wall. Thank you for your help. I'll work on it to see if I can make this work.

I see nothing wrong in showing your work. If it is breaching any confidentiality clause, edit your message and delete the picture.

Djordje,

I assume his boss is concerned that we are all going to steal his ideas. I prefer to steal from Corbu, Palladio, Scarpa, Mies, Iktinos, etc. so he has nothing to fear from me.

I agree that there is nothing wrong with post the picture, that's why I post the picture. I think it will be hard for me to describe, and picture can speak everything by itself. BUT well, it's not my picture, I cannot make any decition

I have one more question.
After i render the model, I can see the cutting line. Is there is anyway that I can delete those line? I think I might not expline well, so here is the picture. The blue arrow point the line that I want to delete

This looks like an analytic shaded view to me. If it is, turn the contours to best. All the joints of the same materials should disappear.

Try OpenGL, although it does show the joints regardless of the contour settings.

What happens when you render?

Those lines aren't rendering anomalies, they are floating in space not and not on the surface. They appear to be 3D lines drawn by the door objects.

My guess is that you did not trim the doors as you did the walls, or, if you did, that it didn't affect the lines. I don't how SEOs deal with lines as part of a target element. Surfaces (and of course lines etc.) will not work as operators.
