Hello Friends,

I am trying to create an half circle helix wall to my project, any idea how to create it?
Maybe archicad dont have this option? or it can be done only with curtain wall tool?

Thank you!!

The original Galileo would have figured this out.

1: Create a 180 degree curved wall to the maximum height required.

2: Place a 240 degree ramp under and over the wall. [overlap]

3: Use Solid Element Operation to cut away excess wall.

Hi!

For example you can create a cylindrical wall (means using AC's wall tool) and cut with:

1. curved ramp object using SEO.
2. spiral object with custom created profile.
