It generates straight segments in Sections/Elevations.
Also, in 3D.
I would say the resolution is probably 36 as we have seen in GDL as default.
Looks pretty smooth but if you go close you can see the segmentation.

[Barry Kelly]

It was a resolution of 36 segments in Beta but will be doubled to 72 in the final release.
This is the number of segments per arc and not for the full circle.
Archicad apparently tries to achieve a max deviation from the curve of 10mm.
If it can use less segments to achieve this then it will.
Unfortunately I don't think we can control this deviation.

Is there any improve in the number of polygon that archicad can handle? (For example when import 3ds or skechtup)

[Barry Kelly]

Only by virtue that it is now 64 bit on all platforms so with the right equipment you should be able to handle bigger files.

I like modeling improvements in AC15.. For example, 3 moths ago I was doing some intersecting spheres, and AC couldn't handle it, so I had to go and do it in revit

What I was hopping to see in this new release was some kind of wall by face tool like revit has. Something that would allow to import models from other 3d programs, and create elements based on their surface.

All after all, very nice update, much more important for me that AC 14
Good work graphisoft

is it possible to edit curtain wall in elevation or sections in archicad 15?

those creating hole in shell tool in elevation would be great to be possible doing with walls.

what I really miss is in place editing skins of composite walls. something like with curtain wall, you press edit and then each wall skin would be treated as separate wall, which would make me able to define which skins should be connected together. or if needed one skin is finished earlier than the rest of the wall. after you are finished with editing you pres OK and then wall is again just a wall with custom geometry and with connections in model. now instead of doing that in model I have to go to worksheet to clean wall intersections.

is it possible in AC 15 to have wall with changing height without using roof tool and SEO?

is possible in AC15 to do in place editing of modules?

Is it possible to copy (drag a copy) objects in sections?
