I am looking for a Weather Vein to put ontop of one of our Gazebos. The Archicad 10 library does not have one, and I am unsure how to make one. Does someone have one that they have made? Or know where I can find one??
Any help would be wonderful!! Thanks!! Michelle

If there actually isn't a weather vane, it is easy to make using the Complex Profile Tool.
Do you want a rooster, a duck, or a horsie?
Perhaps you want a weather vane like the one foretelling the tornado disaster in last week's Despicable Housemarms where the sun shines from the North in the scene. And it is the Northern Hemisphere! AAAArgh! Like no one would notice! Such amateurs! But a great tornado! They must have rented every wind machine in Hollywood for that!
Make a complex profile guidefill shaped like the animal and the arrow and then use the beam tool in the perpendicular direction. You make a shallow extrusion equal to the casting depth.
Then another one perpendicular without the animal.

If you want the compass directions, you can use the 3D Text object.
If you want awinged horse, you would need a second profile facing the other way.
If you want a

Not sure if this is of any help, but I saw a tutorial on how to make a Weather Vein on the ArchiForma Website some time back using ArchiForma, but couldn't find any thing now.

there are a couple at google's 3D Warehouse you could try and import, just search for 'weather vane'
