"easy" is pep talk
As I teach Uni students, I always say it is easy, otherwise they won't even bother to try

Whatever you know is easy 😉

Sure, but unfortunately you have to learn it the hard way

Every such solution is actually a workaround.
What i would dream of?
Create a FLAT wall. Do the procedure miguel says and then i could curve the wall as i want and the structure will follow

The logic of stacked modifiers , as seen in 3d modelers would be very nice if it was ported to an architectural package. But ofcourse this goes to the wish list.

That should work fine. Now then...what are some short cuts to drawing the widows? (rot iron work)

Say for example that you have found a picture of the rot iron detail you want to use on the web or you have a digital photo of it. Perhaps it is very complex and it would take forever to draw it. You could bring it into ArchiCAD as a figure, resize it to scale and trace it with a reasonable amount of success, but is there a better way? Some way to eliminate all the tedious drafting.

If you could convert image files like .jpg or .bmp into ArchiCAD things like lines or fills you would have found a very good short cut for lots of things.

Raster to Vector conversion probably has something to do with what I would like to be able to do.

I would like to be able to open an image in Photoshop, select everything of some same color, delete everything else and convert what I have left into an ArchiCAD fills or lines.

Is there any software out there that will turn an image file of lines into a single lines, splines, or fills that we could paste into ArchiCAD?

That is the trick I am looking for. I am sure something like this must be possible.

If you can scan a page form a book, convert it to a Word document, and paste it into ArchiCAD as editable text, why cant you scan an image file and have it converted into something that could be pasted into ArchiCAD as fills and/or lines?

Could ArchiFaçade be used for this kind of thing?

Well there is a procedure but not easy and not very accurate.
Trace the areas or outlines inside photoshop, create paths , export them to Illustrator , save as DXF/DWG , import them in ArchiCad and scale them.

That sound ok to me if "Trace the areas or outlines inside photoshop" is an automatic thing you can do some how in photoshop. (I don't know how to use it). Otherwise its not much better than trying to trace a figure in ArchiCAD.

How about Plan2Model. How does that work ?

You have it in MaxonForm. Exactly what you described.

It is the logic od the 3D modelers.

I know Djordje.
If Maxonform could save in native Archicad Objects (not as a gdl mess) i would never mention it.
I hope this would be possible soon
