Creating bullet-shape by curtain wall (Experiment)

Anonymous — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 07:04:00 GMT

1. draw curtain with curve in elevation
2. multiply the curtain wall by rotating it in plan
3. split the curtain wall by right clicking each in 3D view

and this method should be able to so more irregular shape by curtain wall tool.

I hope GS would add auto split to it in AC further version, because when doing it manually is very annoying, just like trimming line in AutoCAD

which is the answer to my question 3 months ago:

Nicely done, Angus Lee! Why not place the examples in the AC12 Curtain wall example thread here?
