Curved ascending Profile

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 16:08:46 GMT

I'll try to expose my problem: I need to make a specific rail on a curved stair, which i could only build using slabs. I can't use a profiled wall cause it's ascending, and either use beams cause it's curved. Does anybody know a solution for this? Thanks.

Try this thread. There is a spiral rail part listed near the end which might suit.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

If your rail has a circular section, try using the "Spiral" object (in INT version of ArchiCAD, it can be found in Basic Library > Special Constructions > Basic Shapes).
For a rectangular section of rail, try the "Curved Ramp" object (Basic Library > Building Structures > Structural Elements).

Cheers.

OBJECTiVE has tools specifically for this purpose - take a look at:

Watch the first film clip in the series for examples of bending profiles to rising curves.
