It has to have a 1% decline but only in some parts of the composite structure (thermal insulation is inside, then concrete then a 1% decline in a further concrete structure, then again flat gravel?)<BR /> - how can I design walls that connect to the concrete (i.e. "cutting through insulation)?<BR /> <BR /> CURTAIN WALL: my questions are the following:<BR /> - how can i design a curtain wall with a "module"? I have a length which I divided in 15 elements (single curtain wall element) another one divided in 5 (single curtain wall): how can i "merge" the two in the corner so that I have one curtain wall?<BR /> <BR /> Furthermore:<BR /> - how can i design the roof and floor to have insulation only in the internal part?<BR /> - What I mean is that the roof partly covers the structure and partly not. I would like to have the insulation and some other elements only when the roof covers an "internal" area and not outside.<BR /> Also: the roof shold be "finished" and not like "laser cut" on the sides...<BR /> <BR /> note on the image:<BR /> the "walls" you see on top of the floor should cut through the gravel and connect to the main concrete, because my structure depends on them...</T></DIV> Tue, 23 May 2023 13:03:41 GMT Anonymous 2023-05-23T13:03:41Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Flat-roof-and-curtain-wall-how-to/m-p/124050#M65820 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>Dear all,<BR /> <BR /> I am creating building in ArchiCAD12.<BR /> <BR /> ROOF: my questions are the following:<BR /> - how can I design a roof which is flat?

In plan, with line tool draw the 2 or more sides of the curtain wall.<BR /> 3. Magic-wand the curtain wall onto the line(s) to create the CW.<BR /> 4. In the EDIT window for the CW, apply the favorites to the lengths of CW . The corner where they meet will then be correct.<BR /> <BR /> Think of the CW components(scheme, frame, panel etc) as subsets. You can have numerous favorites of each component. <BR /> You can have numerous CW favorites that are different combinations of these subsets.<BR /> <BR /> HTH Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:20:35 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Flat-roof-and-curtain-wall-how-to/m-p/124051#M65821 Erika Epstein 2009-04-24T17:20:35Z
