Need help with modeling

[Dalius]

Does anyone have any idea how to design such a figure with ArchiCAD?

The Morph tool can make that shape.

Here's my quick attempt at it!

And I'm sure someone who uses morph more regularly than me could get it much closer!

Link, great! Could you please explain it in a little more detail? How did this get made?

Break your design down to the 3 basic cone shapes, create those as morph (there are quite a lot of tutorial videos on archicad youtube channel about the morph tool and its functions) arrange them in a section or elevation (you can drag, rotate etc, more easily than in 3d I would say). Use solid element operators or morphtool intersection thingy (again see youtube vids) to cut away the bits you do not need.

All in all, it shouldn't be more than a few minutes work, once you know how the tools work.

Dalius:

An alternative to Link's suggestion is to use the Cone object. Under the Structural Dimensions panel are various parameters for altering the top and bottom angles.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
