hi all :

I need to get curve`s line (red in the picture) in elevations or section like I made by Photoshop to appear the curve wall without shade setting .

section settings go to Model display
and in uncut elements select fill uncut surfaces with ( colors non shaded)

how about changing the 3d window settings to wireframe.

view>3d view mode>3d window settings.
then under 'mode' change to wire frame.

You have to create a "Vertical Line Fill" with spacing around 1m. Create a Material called Curved Wall. Apply this Fill to the new material. Apply this material to the curved wall.

On Section Settings:
--Model Display
-----Vectorial 3d Hatching (Click the box)

This should work

Use Dwights 'line 3d vertical.gsm' found in his 3d lines and circles pack here to create one vertical line positioned at the edge of the the curved wall (at 6 o'clock position). Radially multiply using the centre of the circle as the rotation point.

These lines will then appear in all elevations!

These objects could be improved even further by adding graphical hotspots to resize the lines in 3d. I might have a play later this evening if I get round to it!

Hope that helps.

there should be no work-around for this kind of "basic" architectural representation...

IMHO, this should be incorporated in project preferences, in the elevation/section options or specific once the wall is curved....

You want something the programmers have spent years to get rid of! Why not just segment the wall?
If not, Bernardo's vertical line fill trick is the best. Will work in all elevations, without 2D editing. I would not call it a workaround!

for me its workaround, why the hell we have GDL then ? We need intelegence way of presentation...
I dont want to loose time on puting these lines on my drawings, capishi

Being unpolite won't get you any better answers.

If you model a smoothly curved wall, and want lines on it, it is obviously a surface treatment you want. Bernardo's tip is the standard way to apply a surface treatment (in Archicad called 'material') to any item. Thus no workaround.

If you instead want a segmented wall, model it with segments and you'll get the lines you want without any surface treatment.

What about just exploding the element ( keep original ) and turn fills borders on ?

actually giving it a second thought, you won't be able to explode in Elevations, so just copy to plan and paste it back.

I hope this works.
