I´m a new user of Archicad, I´m trying to build a complex wall and I would like it to have a different height in each side, but I can only make it either shorter or higher. Is ther a way to edit only one of the sides?
I'm not sure but I think you mean that you'd like a wall that has a slanted top. If so, there's not direct way, using the wall tool to accomplish this - though it has been a desired feature for many of us for a long time.
There are, however, many ways to accomplish this using the Solid Editing Operations. Use a roof, or other slanted object, as the operator and subtract w/upward extrusion.
Many of Archicad's forms require tricks, but they yield a useful building information model. You expect Archicad to be filled with elastic primitives when its tools, admittedly limited, are designed to merely speed the modeling of conventional architecture.
Sort of like photojournalism school where students run out and take emotive pictures of soaring crows reflected in rain puddles when in reality they will be employed to photograph old white men in suits at microphones.
If we all thought that nobody can make a difference or at least have the curiosity to learn, of course we would all be taking those stupid pictures, but I believe some go further........I would never have spected such an answer from a student forum.
By the way, I immagine what kind of pictures you have been taking.
