curved section

Anonymous — Tue, 30 May 2023 07:57:21 GMT

Greetings
Please I need urgent help, I have a curved wall that has a special pattern in it, I want to give the wall paper guy the pattern, and in order to do that I have to give him an elevation or section and elevations and sections tools does only draw straight lines and I want to draw a curved one for this curved wall !
so I tried many ways "including taking a section series for this curved wall" but couldn't find one that will give me the exactly longitude dimensions.
i will really appreciate if somone here can help me or give me any tips for making curved section for this curved wall.
Many Thanks

A worksheet by drawing in 2D only
Good luck !

Have you actually modelled this pattern onto the wall?

I was going to suggest a 3D Document.
But it seems you can not do 'arc' dimensions in a 3D Doc - only straight.

obviously If I use bim software that means I am capable to deal with drawing things, and obviously by using the bim software it means that I am looking to be more accurate with my drawings also to be more quick
specially when you have large projects and you just cant simply draw each one by 2d worksheetk!!
why you people go of the topic and why you dont just answer the provided question of if you dont know just keep scrolling !!

in revit you can do such things by using "dynamo" a software provided whit the revit application!

and why in archicad there is no such thing.
people of the archicad software if anyone Is reading , your software has been always my best pal with my projects, please solve these type of advantages that the revit has over archicad, and don't make me switch to using revit

Best Regards

thanks dear yes its done i want to give the workshop guys the exactly mesurments of the wall and the windows in it and finally the pattern

Measurements of the wall and windows are easy enough with radial dimensions with the verticals being what ever the window heights and their bottom offset are.

I know it's actually impossible only with Archicad
Perhaps with Grasshopper but I don't know it
The dialogue itself appears to be a renunciation of aggression
Sorry that the solution that I propose to you does not suit you

Silverwolf,
The answer was not off topic, just Christophe's opinion of how to solve it.
Just as you say not to answer the question and keep scrolling, I could say just ignore the answer and keep searching.

Please remember this is a voluntary user forum, with people of different abilities asking and answering questions.
Let alone not having English as a 1st language - which sometimes does not help with the questions and answers.

I can't think of a way in Archicad to flatten a curved surface, so I would think manually drawing it will be your only option.
I may be wrong.

Going on a slight tangent, given objects like Graphisoft's "Mouldings & Panels" wall accessory, it maybe possible to create an object that will "draw" an elevation of a curved wall and it's openings. The object can pick up the curve segment length and opening positions and sizes of the associated wall. Do not think that you will be able to get it to show other things modelled on the wall but it would be a start.

thanks a lot guys I really appreciate your efforts, obviously you cant do such thing in archicad you have to do it manually thanks god haven't faced this problem with a big projet then it could take years to finish, but during my search I found that you can do such thing easier with revit, with the help tools of it. but damn I hate revit I am a big fan of the archicad and I really hope if there is a way to reach this software engineers to tell them about it.

thanks again
