Anyone seen this for AC?

Anyone have any good ideas on how to make some in GDL?

No, and it seems unlikely.

Complex organic shapes are among the most difficult to model convincingly; especially when they are to be selected and placed for functional and aesthetic value. Stone coursing poses a similar problem.

The only relatively easy thing I can think of (depending on the design of the rails) would be to model a collection of twigs which could be selected at random by the railing object. If the twigs vary only slightly from each other it might work to repeat one with a small random variation.

Anything like this:

I think ADT has something like what I am looking for. Can I 'convert' that to AC?

I can't access the image. Seems to be a permissions thing.

It will probably be more trouble than it's worth unless you can use ADT to make a set of parts to be assembled in AC. Otherwise you would probably have to create each instance in ADT, save in DWG (or 3DS if possible) and manually convert them to ArchiCAD library parts (there is no automatic way to do this AFAIK).

Well here is an attempt by me. It needs lots of work, but it just might work after a few overhauls.

Its a killer on rendering though. I set it at only 16 resol - maybe I should go with only 8.?

Looks good for a start. You did that in GDL?

Oh no - I'm finding other ways around coding it all by hand.
