Wall angled to rise along its length

Anonymous
Not applicable
Is there any way to have a wall angled so that one end is higher than the other?

The only way I can do it to create a beam profile. This is ok as long as I do not want a curved wall, which I do .

Any pointers will be appreciated.

TIA

Hi Dwight, could you Please explain how do I use the curved ramp object as a wall? As a matter of fact I want to drop this wall on a curved ramp .

Make it narrow and tall.

DO you need openings in this wall? If so, it is more complex:

you'll use ramps to SEO away the top and bottom of any curved wall.

Will give it a try. Yes I do need windows (actually, the middle part of the wall is all glass as shown in the picture above).

Thanks a lot Dwight; appreciate your time. Regards.

I noticed in your signature that you have AC16 and this is a perfect chance to use the new Morph tool. I made a quick video you can reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq1QnCI2xyQ I used a simple wall but you could create a complex profile that includes the glass as you show in your picture, then convert to a morph.

I did not include it in my video but you can classify a Morph element using the Element Classification in the Morph Settings dialog under Tags & Categories. This way you have some ability to schedule the wall and perform quantity take-offs.
