Guastavino Vault

Anonymous

How would I model a guastavino vault?
I know roughly how to create the simple barrel vaults, however I'd like to be able to create a kind of roof structure which curves down to the ground/columns.
Thanks.

Is it possible with the Shell tool?

Probably not with a single shell, but perhaps by combining multiple shells into the one shape.

I think that archicad can´t do that... maybe other better program like Revit
Sorry but the curtain wall doesnt fit with the vault ... more haste, less speed
No more than 10 minutes, archicad + artlantis include.

Cinema 4D plug connection to ArchiCAD in will do the job pretty easy.

Thanks for all the response.
I think Revit would be easily able to create my vaults. Unfortunately, it seems ArchiCad isn't quite capable at this point.
But if I was to create my vaults in Revit, would I take it back in to ArchiCad as an object?
Thanks

Try this exercise with OBJECTiVE. I made the attached image in a few minutes using its profiling, bending, and cutting tools.

With archiforma and the "Coons Surface" is a smart way to do too.
