Modeling corrugation profile

Hello, I'm new here.

My experience with CAD is limited to 2d electrical schematics using ISA standards.

Looking for assistance on how to design 3d corrugated structures using an arch and corrugation profile that already exist. Been pulling my hair out for a few weeks and decided to hop on here. Seems like people have used a program called Objective in the past, but Archicad has come a long way since then. If it comes down to it I might seek professional help on building the first few models until I gain the skills to modify those designs. Thanks in advance.

Hi @InEarth, this post from last year may be of use to you ?

The CI Objective tool does help in the orientation of the corrugated sheet profile. You can still orientate your sheet after converting it to a morph but that is not very easy to do unless you are good at using the morph functions and selecting the profile in the right place. 

Others here may be of assistance too.

 

BTW don’t pull your hair out over it, have fun.
