curved sloped rock wall

Anonymous — Thu, 31 Mar 2005 23:30:29 GMT

I need to model a curved, sloped rock wall. The wall is actually a vertical wall with a sloping rock veneere on one side. What would be the best way to model a curved, sloped rock wall?
Thanks,
John

It makes a difference if it has windows in it or not. If it is a battered stone wall without windows, profiler would work well.

A sketch by hand would explain better what you want to build -> thus you'll get better advice

Kliment,
Good idea, here is a front elevation. The stone wall in the lower right curves to follow the round turet and slopes in from the bottom to the top
Thanks,

It is very simple.
First make sloped wall (roof)
And than select wall and in pop up menu you cann choose the curved wall.

Or make curved wall and cut with roof, make roof invisible.
You have used roof, so you can measure the height very well, where you want.

Now I can understand.
You can use basic element library.

And use the solid-element.

Why not use Battered Wall under Extras\Accessories\Wall Accessories\

An old school method, before there were wall extras . Just use profiler:

Easier still -
use cone object (basic shape) and make top and bottom correct radius.

My cone object doesn't have an inside. Exactly which one are you using?

Dwight declares <<My cone object doesn't have an inside. Exactly which one are you using?>>

I'm using the same one as yours - no inside. In the previous elevation drawing the stone base is shown below the first floor level and, presumably, you would not require a wall thickness to properly model this.

Use two cone objects!
Substract one from the other!
You got it!

referring to the original query, the issue is a tapered cone segment upward.

the conoid is horizontal.

Easy enough to fix in GDL
