Hi, as see the attach file, I did this "s" shape in photoshop, but I want to make this shape in real object in AC, I know AC is not good at doing such shape but is any way to make it ???

SO what is it?

YOu've drawn a thing that implies that it could be 3D, but it is a fake.

You want a curving slug with pointy ends?

That would be tricky in Archicad without scripting it in GDL.

Attached is a circular trim on a spiral tube......

Thing is, you just don't very often, in the call of architecture, need to model yellow excrescences.

You can try to create it in Sketch Up.
It's a free download if you don't allready have it.

Just Google it.
