Archicad 9 - Tilting Walls

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

this is my first post on this forum..

i am fairly new to Archicad.. have been using it for a little while, when was in practice but that was for 3d modelling of domestic housing.
I never had the chance of producing more organic or creative models and need a little help.

Does anyone know how to make a wall tilted... and then join it to another tilted wall. i have heard it is straight forward on Archicad 10 but can it not be done on Archicad 9?

Thankyou

Do a search using key words like "sloped wall", "inclined wall", tilted wall, etc.
You will find many discussions on this topic and various ways this
was done in versions previous to AC 10.

Are you using the wall accessories in AC9?
Extras>> Accessories>> Wall Accessories
(You have to have a wall selected)

If you want the windows to be in the plane of the tilted wall...then you should upgrade to 10. With 9 and earlier, the wall accessory will automatically maintain holes in the tilted wall object that is associated with the host wall... but the doors and windows will reside (vertically) in the host wall.

thanks guys, i figured that out but now i have come across another problem....

i am making a non mainstream type design, similar to zaha hadid style. straight edge building... Now the problem i have is that all the external envelope walls slant out by 10 degrees.. no when i select all the walls to do this, only a few work, i think it has something to do wiith the angles that they meet...

if anyone knows how i could solve this problem i would appreciate it...
