Modeling curved irregular glass walls in Archicad

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 11:05:52 GMT

I think I have to model a very irregular curved glass wall in the coming days.
the glass wall is meant to be like flowing water, so ups and downs.

any direction where i could even start with something like this ?
can archicad do this type of model ?

Thanks.
Ian

Archicad 15 has the new "Shell" tool which can achieve a large variety of shapes, but if you're in AC14 still, you could try the profile manager and extrude shapes out? otherwise the curtain wall may also be of use. But it's hard to comment without an image or better idea of what you need...

We need a picture of what you want to make.

yes like your photo ?
i could possible create a complex profile and drag that along as a wall or beam.
but to get up the up and down movement, that might be tricky ?

thanks.

You could do this with a mesh saved as a object. Though if you can get away with a really good texture, that'll be easier.
