How to model a Cycling Track

BrentMatthew · ‎2019-07-09

Hello All!

Is there a way to model a cycling track using ArchiCAD native tools?
I would like to have a 150mm thick concrete for the track.
The issue is the straight and the curve are at different slopes (see attached image).
I tried using a complex profile but, it would not connect seamlessly.
Any suggestions?

This looks like a job for mesh or morph tool to me.

Hello,

I was asked to put the 'slope' on the curve and not have it on the 'straight section'.
I am trying it with the Mesh Tool, as I can't see an ArchiCAD tool giving me a single sweep and then allow me to lower one end to the lower 'strait section'.
Do you think it is the right way?

Morph and Slab in this model but there are better ways to do it.

The Objective add-on from Cadimage can do this pretty easily (see image). Let me know if you want more info.
