Composite wall tool to produce metal panel wall cladding

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi..

I'm trying to build a wall with a metal panel cladding system. What I have in mind is something along the lines of a top hat section attached to the substrate, and a square or rectangular composite metal panel system acting as a rainscreen.

Of course I can cheat and get adequate plans using my existing composite wall 'expertise', then just draw the cladding on in elevation and deal with it, however, I want to rubber stamp these buildings across a site and I want to see accurately represented building exteriors in all of my elevations without individually modifying each one.

If I'm being too convoluted, THIS (below) is the kind of crap I am looking to produce, but for real.

Thanks for your help.

Nick.
Thanks

Probably the curtain wall tool will be your best bet.

Or there is a James hardy wall accessory add-on that can do panelling as well - but not the glass, you will have to add windows in for those areas.

Register and look in the section for CAD details and you should see the Archicad download.
