Complex profile on curved walls

Anonymous

Hello all-

I am trying to use a complex profile that is really simplistic, (slight curve on the top of the outside edge) but the wall looses the profile when it goes into a curve. Is there a simple fix? Works well when the wall runs straight and true, but deviation from a straight line kills it. Any helpful hints?

No problems with the beam use of the complex profile, but beams do not curve either.

No. But when you blow away your previous attempts and start over it works! I had tried this about 6 times before I went to the Talk Forum without tweaking the same settings I was working with in the magic wand. I was getting some weird display so I restarted ArchiCAD and it works. Make me look like a chump. That is my superstition now. First try a memory dump!

Thanks, Dwight for your help and snappy replies. I really do appreciate it.

linear segments and make them really short.
This really makes ArchiCAD work though. Long regeneration time.

Yet ANOTHER way to know…
