Craftsman Column GDL

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know where I can get a craftsman column GDL? I'm mainly interested in the squared tapered column, either with or without a base.

I had no luck last year for a pseudo historic renovation and made my own with the complex profile.

Based, sort-of, in these:

did you check the gdl depository here on the first page of ACtalk?

I don't do GDL, but I needed a versatile column, so Frank Lazar made one for me. It is here... http://www.objectsonline.com/product_info.php?products_id=1545&osCsid=b041679f68644e544f73703b4725ed...

The image doesn't seem to go through the options unless you click on the little side image, but you can change just about everything.. taper top and bottom.. add moldings... etc.

Thanks for the help everyone. I may end up purchasing your object down the road, Rick. But, I actually spent a few hours and made my own using the polygon prism shape w/ some added trim.

While I don't make anything off it ... for future reference it is well worth $18 as for time saved:) It is quite flexible.

That was fun, wasn't it ?

Abvent bought Objects OnLine, then later closed the shop. You might try contacting Ferenc or maybe Rick will post back with some information.

Whenever I get stuck on modelling an element, I first think about how it will be constructed.

In the case of craftsman details, considered that they are constructed of wood. So I have built those columns using complex wall profiles. Create 1 profile & surround the column with it. Very simple.

Architecture must represent the real world. While we can push boundaries in design the bottom line is that it has to be constructed to come to fruition.
