Hi! I have a question:
With Shell tool can you create a continuous profile between the rack and the eave as in the picture attached?
Thanks.

You would have to create two Extruded Shells, then set their starting/end angles properly or create contours for them to create the mitred joint properly.

Do the the pieces on your image have the same profile? Or are they different?

If it's any help, this thread from a few years back shows various techniques for joining the two profiles -

Thanks, I read it all, it is a very interesting tread. What I understood if I am not wrong is that the section of the profile between the rack and the eave change slightly. But I will try to do with the shell tool.
Graphisoft should release some tutorial on how to do not just big stuff, but even detail(s).
Thanks

There is an ArchiCADWiki article on this.
I am linking it here so anyone looking for an answer to this will find it:
