Hello guys, i have one question. How do you create a pool like this. I need that pool for Lumion so i want to design it in Archicad. Is there any way to design it or maybe somewhere download object.

Thank you

Seems pretty basic - what problem are you having?

I mean do i have to do it as custom pool or can i download as 3d model?

you will have to model it, Not to difficult

You will not find something that looks like this. I have modeled several infinity edge pools and it is easiest to just model it for what you want. If the size and shape doesn't matter too much you might find something on 3D Warehouse.

I have attached a screenshot of a SS Infinity Pool I have done on a Private Penthouse roof deck.

like what rest have said its easier to model the specific infinity pool design you want and on top of that you can generate the details base on the model. 😎

In the end what is your Objective?

I recently modeled a waterfall edge pool in Archicad with the wall tool for the pool, a slab for the water, and a thin wall for the "waterfall".  (A profiled wall could also be utilized to include the coping, waterline tile, etc.)  It all rendered nicely in Twinmotion.

ArchiCAD since 8.0, currently on 22, waiting on 26, maybe...

I prefer to model pool water with a mesh as then you do not need to worry about intersections or double lines in section and it is easier to select. It also allows you to set a colour fill to be able to quickly identify water bodies in sections.
