Guastavino Vault

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 12:43:59 GMT

How would I model a guastavino vault?
I know roughly how to create the simple barrel vaults, however I'd like to be able to create a kind of roof structure which curves down to the ground/columns.
Thanks.

Mesh generator is your answer...

Is it possible with the Shell tool?

Probably not with a single shell, but perhaps by combining multiple shells into the one shape.

good starting point?

I think that archicad can´t do that... maybe other better program like Revit
Sorry but the curtain wall doesnt fit with the vault ... more haste, less speed
No more than 10 minutes, archicad + artlantis include.

Cinema 4D plug connection to ArchiCAD in will do the job pretty easy.

Thanks for all the response.
I think Revit would be easily able to create my vaults. Unfortunately, it seems ArchiCad isn't quite capable at this point.
But if I was to create my vaults in Revit, would I take it back in to ArchiCad as an object?
Thanks

Try this exercise with OBJECTiVE. I made the attached image in a few minutes using its profiling, bending, and cutting tools.

With archiforma and the "Coons Surface" is a smart way to do too.

This vault is quite easy to build with standard AC tools!

If you spend some time to define the geometry in 2D it is usually possible to build what you want. We cannot expect to have a tool for every shape we conceive. There is not a vault tool in 3dsMax either, but nobody complaints! 😉

Complex profile is the right approach for it!

wow....impressive sir.
you will have to share your secrets on how you did this...perhaps a step-by-step tut?

I think, this is possible with the Complex Profile tool. Define the geometry in 2D (the sinusoidal shape), then apply to a wall and draw a circle wall. If it's not represent correct in plan (to be seen from above), rotate in 3D and save as object.
Also could be drawing with the Profile add-on.
Is that correct?
My opinion.
If I want to apply to a roof, and place a skylight, is possible?

Maybe this can help you:

Andro made the tutorial before me.

By the way, if you ask for an advice, it will be of great help to you and those, willing to help you, if you supply 2D drawings - plans, sections and elevations of what you want yo achieve. Guessing by just a picture is not the easy way!

So, is possible to apply to a roof and place a skylight?
The shell tool could to this?

If you use my method, NO. The vault is an object. You can place a skylight, but must make a hole in the vault (with a beam or using SEO with another element).
