Profiled Sheet 19

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am trying to make a wall with a corrugated metal siding. I want the siding to appear in 3D views, not just texture on the wall surface. There is an object in the base Archicad Library (Profiled Sheet 19), but it only allows me to do a vertical orientation. The only way I have been able to create a horizonal siding is to convert the vertical one into a Morph and then rotate.

This option does not allow me to place windows in the wall. So I end up trimming the Profiled sheet with hidden operators, to make a hole for windows and doors.

Does anyone know a way to model a corrugated siding?

For horizontal you could use a complex profile wall.
Then door and window openings will be automatic as well.
