All the planes are flat, they are just not a a 90 degree angle. Below is a image of the fills I've used to created each separate piece of the elevation, which obviously creates the outlines of the elevation. By hi lighting the profiles you can see the different shapes that have made the elevation - that is shapes go in and out of what would be the boundary line (if that makes sense)
I'm still not sure where the process is going wrong. Are you doing something like the following:OBJECTiVE's rotation is not limited to 90 degrees or to any particular axis, so this should be achievable.
- 1. Create the primary/major building surfaces, but not necessary the correct shape.
2. Use the Split tool to cut the surfaces where they intersect. You may need to rotate the whole assembly to an appropriate working plane to do this.
3. Create the secondary surfaces to close gaps by rotating the whole assembly such that the vertices of the opening are on a level plane and tracing over the required opening size.

It's slowly getting there... I just very, very fiddly!
Once it's finished, would I leave the plans as they are or should I draw over them so they make more sense?

Hi Nstocks !
When seeing this kind of surfaces, I think sketchup would be a better choice as you could manipulate there surfaces way easily than you could in Archiad ( until an easy integrated modeler will see the light inside archicad )...just my opinion
PS: for the concept, is this a sort of "fold'ed' architecture" ?

It is a kind of folded Architecture but my main concept is 'hidden'. Could you elaborate on 'Folded Architecture' I'm looking for research examples etc

I've looked at society in general and what's already on offer and concluded: We are always faced with advertisements on 'bad food' like MCdonalds, Chocolate, junk food etc. and I feel that this is leading towards obesity and health problems (especially with the younger generations, 5, 6 years old). The consumer is being exploited and they don't even know it - you see the 'new' chocolate bar and immediately want it, but do you really need it, what would the consequence be if in 5 years a new product came out every week that was bad for you and every bus stop, billboard, store window, tv advert etc. etc. was advertising it? The consumer would want more and more because they know it's so easily available to them and they know they can get what they want. So I've created a conceptual drawing on 'Censored Ads' i.e all this advertising should be banned. hence the 'hidden' theme.
once you've mastered (which not difficult at all ) to draw in sketchup you'll see there is no doubt for this kind of shapes sketchup is the 'king'.

I seem to have reached and troublesome plane. When drawn, it was aligned with the bottom of other profiles (floor) but when it's rotated, I loose some height. What is the best way or 'adding' another piece to the gap as shown in the image below, without having to re-draw it all ?
