Modelling non-standard objects

[Christiaan]

What happens in ArchiCAD when you want to model something that isn't standard, such as something reasonably simple as bracing at the top of a post, like in this example:

What do you mean? Which post? There is a whole project in your example! Don't expect us to review it to find your post!

What's supposed to "happen" to those posts?

sloped beam or column, profile wall for something more complex

Christiaan,

After a quick look at your link I'm guessing you are talking about the post with the 45 degree angle brace. In Ac11 (not sure about other versions) you could use the Strut12_11. It's in the Roof Maker 11 library. It also allows you to change the angle. You should add your AC version as well as computer specs to make it easier for others on the forum to assist you.

Thanks Mike/Doug. I'm a Vectorworks user, just evaluating ArchiCAD.
