Hey i'm a student and i'm having problems with creating a PRISM_ with curved lines. can you help me please

this is the code
1, 0, 15+64,
.5, .5, 915,
0, 180, 4015,
0, 0, 15,
1, 0, -1

This is a code that makes a curved line to the outside. the line i used was the diagonal line in the triangle. now the question is how can i make this so the line is curved to the inside

Hello,

Using a negative angle (-180) might help

I tried that but that isn't the solution

jensvs:

The center of the arc (status code 915) needs to be moved out, the direction of the arc needs to be reversed (negative angle) and the angle should be 90˚, not 180˚. When working on these sorts of problems, it helps to draw the shape desired to work out the code.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
