How to create tiled exterior wall?

[Anonymous]

Hello. I am using Archicad 14. I want to know if it's possible to create tiled wall. I don't want to be a texture but a relief with an option to change the color of each tile.

I want to achieve something like this:

I can't do that with profile manager. And why the log wall can't be tiled vertically.. and also choosing the color of every part. Why so simple things can't be done with archicad..

edit:

I could probably do it using the Curtain Wall Tool making the transoms and the mullions invisible. That's how I could pick up the color of each panel/tale.

You could also use the Modular Joinery object (if your reseller knows about it). You can quickly set out an array of panels (in one window) and set the colour/material individually for each one (see image).

You made Archicad cry with your unfair critique.

Another way is with a complex profile wall drawn perpendicular to the surface.

Do you need a BIM solution or a BIM Bluffer solution?


Model your virtual building with virtual parts.

Kingspan Insulated Metal Panels.
http://www.kingspanpanels.us/products/benchmarkarchitectural/default.aspx

Kingspan provides shop drawings/installation plans for this product.
It has a material list too.
It would be interesting to know what software they are using for that.
ArchiCAD would be perfect.

Download detials and profile and make your own parts quick before your boss hires them to do your work.

Hi,


There is also a Ruukki cladding library which can be used with the AC accessories library, and applied as wall accessory.

You can download it from here: https://software.ruukki.com/PublishedService?file=page&pageID=9&itemcode=1-2-1-1

First you can make the cladding, then explode it into parts and color them as you wish.

I could not get the ObjExploder.apx to work with 15.

Hi,

Unfortunately it's an add-on made for AC 12, I think it would be nice if you send them a feedback, and ask them to make an upgrade to AC 14 & 15

I used the Ruukki Library some times, but without the objExploder, so I didn't observed that it hasn't evolved in the last 2-3 years
