Need Help with Custom Structure for Curved Roof system

[Anonymous]

I'm running the student version, so I hope it is ok that I post in this part of the forum. I am working on a project where I have created a curved roof system for a rail station. It is a really long span, appx. 1400 feet long. (see attached img) I need to create a structural system to support the roof. Right now I have columns but no beams or girders because I can't figure out how to draw them in ArchiCad. Any suggestions based on the image below?

There are a number of possibilities.
In the wood and metal sections of the library there a beams, trusses etc.
You can use the truss-maker feature to create the all kinds of shapes of trusses (and other stuff). Do a search hear for trussmaker.

If you post even sketches of the kind of supports you want to use you will get many suggestions how to make them. We love a challenge.

complex profiles . . .

That is perfect! Now only if I could figure out how to do that I played around with complex profiles last night for awhile but I can't seem to get it looking like that. I searched these threads for tutorials or info on how to use complex profiles but didn't seem to find anything very detailed besides something on creating moldings.

I'm learning, I think I got it.

Complex profiles are easier than other methods because of editing ease.
