How good would it be if we could model walls (and perhaps roofs?) in elevation views! Creating sloping parapets, odd shaped wall elevations, walls under stairs, etc - all by being able to select the wall and edit its shape without having to create temporary rooofs to cut the top of the wall, or other workarounds, etc. Some CAD systems do this already - Revit maybe?
dont worry man, u will not see that cos i think that people on pic when u insalling archicad dont know how to do that....noobs
Here is a trick to achieve polygonal Wall shape in Elevation that again shows the versatility of the Curtain Wall Tool.
1. Create a Normal Curtain Wall.
2. Make an Elevation Line parallel with it.
3. Go to the Elevation.
4. Select the Curtain Wall and use the Design\Curtain Wall\Boundary Editing In Section\Extract Boundary to Fill and the Design\Curtain Wall\Boundary Editing In Section\Redefine Boundary from Fill commands do modify the side view of the Curtain Wall to the shape you want.
5. Delete all Transom and Mullion Frames so that whole Curtain Wall will be one big panel surrounded by Boundary Frames.
6. Select all Boundary Frames and set them to invisible, set the d value to zero. Also, I would suggest the use of the Inside Grid radio button in the Curtain Wall System\Member Placement panel.
7. Set the thickness of the Panel to the width desired for the Wall.
Voilá.
PS.: You can even place multiple holes of any shape into the geometry.

yes this is good WORK AROUND, comon but if this become tip of month what GS will do, i want to do this with wall not with curtain.
I will not be suprised if in the future i see post like this
take chair from library, put windows on it, and u have house that looks like chair and u see man,

Still looking?
