hi!! I am modeling some custom products and wondering how to curve a slab? I am trying to accomplish what's highlighted in pink - I want the leaf not standing flat/straight as is but to be slightly curved. I think I tried over everything and I can't find anything that would anyhow accomplish the result.... archicad would be able to do this right?
I also wanted the edges (depth of the leaf) to be not straight as is but full bullnose - I found "fillet" setting but it is bullnosing different angle/parts... is there some setting to choose better what needs to be exactly bullnosed?
Any help please ? (built through slabs) .
Thank you! My colleagues utilize 3Ds max (is this what you meant?) if so, then that I’d great as I can ask them, save the object in archicad file and re use. Unfortunately not edit as I am not familiar with gdl language if that would be even possíble.
May I ask last question? I have the leaf but there is also one more shape I’m now worried about. 😁 Do you think I could accomplish this look (top) in archicad “easily” or is it similar case as the leaf?
(The “ top” means top view of the detail on lid). it is sort of spiral but part of the slab would be high and part would be low as it turns into inside. ) the candle vessel is inspiration as it shows low and high wall/slab which is my concern.
I know this is not traditional interior project buuut I hope I could still develop these here :((
Spirals are another thing Archicad can't really do.
You would have to create your own from short straight or curved walls.
If straight wall, the shorter they are the curvier the spiral will be.
Curved walls can be longer but watch the joining angles (flow) between the wall.
You can see in the image below where it is not smooth as I was not very careful.
Then I would place a curved stair over it and use Solid Element Operation to 'subtract with upward extrusion'.
Then hide stair layer or convert walls into morphs.

Still looking?
