Wall bent at the top

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 14:35:32 GMT

Hi,

I'm a novice and I'm currently going through AC training guides, reference manuals and forums to fish out basic techniques/tips/tricks.

The AC Interactive Training Guide (ITG) illustrates how to add a 3D representation of Alvar Aalto's coffee table as a GDL object. The table legs are made from a "favourite" wall; see attached image of the wall. Unfortunately, I could not find a resource which tells me how to configure that wall so that the top is bent.

Could anyone please direct me to a forum link or to a knowledge resource URL that will teach me how to do the bent wall? I'm currently using AC13 but will be moving to the student free version soon (which I reckon is AC15).

Many thanks,
Ging

Sorry, when I said "Unfortunately, I could not find a resource which tells me how to configure that wall so that the top is bent." what I really meant was, outside of AC's ITG environment, how could I make a wall bend at the top for my own project?
