Hi.

Quick introduction, as I am new to this forum:
I am a Norwegian architect, with a bachelor from Newcastle uni Australia. While studying there we used Archicad (then version 9 and 10). I have been working 2 years as an architect in Luxembourg, where we used Autocad Architecture. As I am going back to uni (this time in Germany) to take my masters degree, I would like to get back into ArchiCAD, because the uni here uses that.

I have a model I did for my firm in Luxembourg in Autocad which was fairly complicated, and I would like to redo this in ArchiCAD as a learning process.

My first problem are the non-rectangular walls, for instance the front wall. How to create this in ArchiCAD? Is it possible with the wall tool, or do I have to use another tool to create it? Or solid element operations?

I would greatly appreciate it if I could get some assistance recreating this model.

Cheers, Eirik

Dear Laszlo.

Thank you for your help. Yesterday, my son was born, so I will spend time with him and my wife in the next weeks. It will be a bit of time before I get back to this project, but I will return and keep you updated of the progress.

Cheers, Eirik

I hope that Eirik will have the opportunity to take this project to the next level with ArchiCAD, creating a virtual model based on real materials and components.
