Filling space under stairs

[Anonymous]

I tried with Fill Tool but got no results. I need to fill marked (with red line) space.

I tried to do something like trim to roof (trim to stairs ) and with SEO tools but neither gave me a result

Perhaps I should raise my rates so I can go there someday.

Up to $15,000.00/night. Wow.

Thanks for the links. I really enjoyed the virtual tour hi-res ipix, and room photos. They may make for excellent examples of set up views for rendering of interiors. I wish I had the time to model and render one of those rooms.

The walls of the Royal Suite were very interesting to me because I have just figured out a way to model that sort of ornamentation with ArchiCAD.

We can do a few fun things like this in ArchiCAD, however, there are a number of new photo to model programs that are even more fun.

They will change the way we use ArchiCAD.

Before a person spends too much time developing GDL scripting and ArchiCAD modeling skills, they should take a look at the future.

Check this out. http://www.photomodeler.com/index.htm
Free Demo too!

Another type of technology I think is going to change the way we use CAD programs for rendering is MODO. Programs like this are something very different.

It is kind of a mix between a state-of-the-art rendering programs like Maxwell, Renderman, etc...and Photoshop type editing.

I think the idea behind it is to render whats best as a render, and photoshop (I don't the right word) the part that is better done like that.
?? I don't really know, that is just my observation from the Demo I am trying out. Lot of fun. Very high quality images in a short time.

Thanks Peter, for that link.

I think my over use of these SOE things has been slowing me down.

I think you should open a new thread about this stuff

Hello Steve,
So how do you model this type of ornamentation with Archicad ?
Thanks,
Peter Devlin

Peter Devlin??
In my book, you are one of the best ArchiCAD modelers in the world!

You need me to tell you how to model something like this, like you need another hole in your head. You are just curious as to if I have actually come up with something new, or if it is just old stuff. Right?

Sorry, it is nothing you do not already know how to do.

For those of you who do not know about the amazing skill of Peter Devlin let me tell you. He could make a smart part for ornamentation of this type that would let you choose from hundreds of different the patterns, if he wanted too. Similar to the way you can pick different door profiles.

Besides, I have been catching hell of late from the "experts" on this forum for not saying things right.

Let an "expert" explain it.

Read a tutorial on making site models from topo maps. Same sort of thing, and then tweaked a bit.

Hello Steve,
Yes, I was more than curious that you had come up with something.
The only way I would know how to truly model that foliate architrave
would be to use the mesh tool and that would take forever.

just some magic wand stuff, The parts are added to other parts, viewd in 3d and then saved as .gsm. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat.
A 3d cutaway on a solid that has been SEO'd, in hiden line mode can give you some lines to to work with, with out ever drawing anything. more copy and paste than anything.
