Archicad 14 - slanted walls.

[Anonymous]

Hey, im currently using ArchiCAD 14. Not used archicad in a while.

I'm trying to create a sloped slab... but i really don't know where to start, from memory i think i use the mesh tool but i don't remeber how to use it.

I know this is a bit vague.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

the "roof tool" is the answer...

Either use the mesh tool and download the "mesh to Roof" plugin or use a regular roof.

The wall is also on a slant.

Just a quick picture, any help would be appreciated.

You can place Roofs at those Slants and do a Trim to Roof on the Wall. Or use SEO.
Another way is to create a Complex Profile with the side view of that Wall. Then draw a Wall using that Profile and use the Intersection SEO on your Wall and this profiled Wall. You Wall the Target, the profiled Wall the operator.

Thank you Dwight

Could someone please assist me on how to create steel cable in archicad14? and how to put them at certain angle?

Realistic steel cable would have a multitude of polygons.

For straight, angled cable, use a complex profile column [columns can tilt] with a triangle or hexagon form.

For draped cable, draw the side profile of the cable in the complex profile and place it with the wall tool across the cable path direction[the cable width]. Of course, this gets you a square cable. Don't look to close.

Here's a cable texture to use in a rendering.
