EXPLODE. Crash and burn.

[Dwight]

Lads:

I'm adding a bunch of roads to an ArchiTerra site - where the roads are defined by curvy walls [they keep their width...], the walls exploded and the resultant fills used to paint on the site....

This element explode thing isn't working - it takes forever to explode a segment of curved wall. Finally resorted to a DXF export/import to get my fills.

Tried ten times - lot of crashing.

Anyone care to comment??

Dwight, this is a useless comment and I should keep shut, do not read on from here: I'd just like to add that I gave up on Architerra last fall. I edit meshes by hand. Takes time, but it works. And i get the results i want. And I'm sorry to occupy your bandwidth with meaningless crap like this!

Thanks, but I'm not complaining about ArchiTerra - I'm concernd that I'm doing something wrong exploding ArchiCAD wall elements.

Dwight,
I tried to do as you have decribed above. I couldn't get ArchiCAD to crash, but I did find that ArchiTerra would not work if I selected all of the fills at once.
It did, how ever work if I selected the fill one at a time.

HTH.
Cheers.
Ben

Told you my comment was useless!

Hey, Dwight, you've posted exactly 1000 more messages than I. What happened? I guess the automatic forum censorship function simply isn't strict enough! Or Djordje isn't alert enough. Whatever. Something's wrong!
