Floor deck modelling help

Greetings,
I am in great need of a Lib part for corrugated metal deck. I have no idea how to work with the one published in the GDL Depository of this Forum.

Decking footprint has an irregular shape, so edges editing is a must.

Any guidance to satisfy the above will be appreciated

See Help menu for "Archicad Downloads > Accessories"

2: Use of complex profile [wall, beam] defining extrusion and SEO defining shape.

Conrado,

Use the object in the AC14 Library (Profiled Sheet Inc 14) or that in Depository.
To obtain a free-form contour draw a slab that intersect the sheet and use SEO (Intersection). Then save the modified sheet fom 3D View (view from TOP, Azimuth 270°) as OBJECT (Non-editable 3d Binary data). In this way contours in 2D view are correct.
