So I'm designing a Cinema and I want natural light ( louvers) to help guide and direct the flow of people into cinemas... I've found this in a recent Architecture magazine and the design will fit into my Cinema, which uses curvilinear forms.
How would I create this sort of ' window '... I could use the wall tool and magic wand the shape by the use of a line but I'm not sure... I would also need to show details of the construction within this so I would need to use glass as the roof material. For flat roof glazing, could I use the slab too and have the material set to " glass " as " Sky lights " are all pitched.
Thank You for your help.

i really hate these vertical lines in AC...

...First i draw it with spline and i trace it with wall, thats why i get these vertical lines...mybe if i draw polyline i would get less lines.
I draw this using:
complex profile for glass assigned to work with wall. I draw section of this,then i draw it on plan and i bend it with archicad command curve edge (floating little window)
beam is archicad beam angled 5 degrees
slim beams are archicad wall...i used magic wand to trace the shape. First i draw shape with line then trace over it.
and i used substruction with upwards extrusion to cut slim beams with glass roof
This could be done easily in Objective too and i think without vertical lines.
Thank You
you cant draw it with slab cos slabs cant have slope !
If you have on your computer Objective...use it.
Archicad is a BIM software...and designing some stuff with complex profiles is crucial if you want to get correct BIM project but this one is a long story
