Double curvature, ideally solid

[Ignacio Azpiazu]

I need to model these funky precast panels and use them in ArchiCAD. I am told they are not hard to model in Sketchup, but that they will get all messed up when bringing them into ArchiCAD.

So would the C4D add-on be the only way?

If your first concern is speed, the best choice is to model the complete mesh.

Yes, SEOs, GDL SEOs and good old WALLHOLEs are a disaster in terms of speed. For objects that will repeat a lot it is best to stay away from all that whenever possible, for a few objects in the model it will not make a difference.

Have you tried the Mesh 3D object in the GDL object library on this site?

it's fairly versatile and easy(and quite fun:) to use - just start off slow with it and add points as you require further accuracy.

ok, so the link above doesn't work - the 3D mesh can be found in:
