Custom fence

Amangava
Participant

Greetings, I am relatively new to the Archicad software and I have a question regarding the possibility of customizing fences. Is it possible to model a complex fence that would be a combination of stone with iron bars and what would be the most efficient method to achieve that? I will attach an example of what I have in mind.
I have searched for the solution and for now the complex profile one looks like it would cover what I am looking for but maybe there are some more options. Thank you in advance!

And if You really want them to curve, you can make a copy (to keep an intact original on hand), turn it to moprh and then you can curve it using the bounding box tool. Very nice model @Erwin Edel !

Magic wand picks up the curves fine for me. Complex profile walls / beams are simplified in terms of curve detail afterward, so polycount stays quite low.

 

It works fine for sections/elevations to 1:50 scale or so and artist impressions that are printed to about A4, I would say. In other words, it suits our purposes.

Thank you. The model is inspired by an existing building in such disrepair, it is basically not viable to save it. We modelled this after old photographs.

 

The existing building is roughly 100 years old, so it's a nice nod to the style of that era.
