Curtain wall the buiding on AC12 start picture

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:00:06 GMT

I am studying curtain wall. And have passed a lot to understand some of it's features. Now I would like to create curtain wall that is on starting screen of AC 12. It is Paul Viguier's building. As I can see it has rounded corners as well as upper edges (between roof and the walls). Frames and panels on those corners follows radius of that corner. So how can I get that rounded corners with rounded panels and mullions with curtain wall?

All I got when creating curtain on circle is polygonal curtain wall with straight panels.

I can't remember who told me but that model was done in an earlier version of ArchiCAD ie pre Curtain Walling tool. It was in fact done with GDL objects custom made to do the job.

So it's all smoke and mirrors, they never said it was modelled with ArchiCAD 12

Yes, the building was designed with AC 9 as far as I know.
Also, the current implementation of the Curtain Wall Tool is not capable of creating double curved surfaces.

For example I cannot create a curtain wall in the shape of a dome? Is that right?

Yes, there is no such Curtain Wall creation method available currently.
