Losing geometry

Karol Argasinski

Dear All,

Recently I got an glitch with ARCHICAD modelling.

I created facade with beam profiles (I used those due to the fact, that facade on this building is not regular due to the pointcloud scan. it was the easiest way. You can see what is the problem on screenshots below. I use those profiles to cut shapes in walls (that is also why I didn't use profiled wall for that).

Do you know what can actually cause geometry loss?

Thanks for help in advance.

Yep! You are correct Barry... Only Rectangular, L, T or Round shapes.
I don't use TrussMaker that much, but in this particular situation, if it could handle CP's would be very easy to create and edit these kind of ornaments.
Lets wait for the next TrussMaker update.
Meanwhile, the Beam tool is the best solution.

Going in that direction you could use curtain wall tool with new pattern drawing ability (profiled beams as mullions) and then you could achieve only 1 SEO per wall
