Profiles with variable section

[Anonymous]

Hi

I need to produce profiled elements (objects or any other tool), that have adifferent sections on each top. These are segments of a bridge.

I looked at Cad Garage and Encina tools, and it looks like they are not able to do this.

Had a go in Sketchup, only to find out that AC13 does not support .skp import.

Without buying Sketchup pro (to export in DWG), or going back to AC12, is there a way to do this?


Thank you.

I'm new here but I can't think how many times I have seen an answer by Ralph that begins "You can do this with OBJECTiVE ..." - and almost certainly an elegant solution.
to add to the chorus ... clearly graphisoft needs objective!

It obviously hasn't been said enough times ...

GRAPHISOFT PLEASE LICENSE OBJECTIVE!

I vote Essential.

failing that please implement these two wishes:

2.5D (2D Elements in 3D)

New Profiler Tool

I think Objective can do most of this, but the 2.5D elements would i think open up some new possibilities for ArchiCAD modelling tools. Its nothing that hasn't been present in nearly every other non-Architectural specific modelling program for over a decade, so why not here? There are so many everyday building elements this would be useful for ... not to mention the fact it would be yet another reason you do not need to touch GDL.

This I wouldn't agree with mainly because of support. Ralph's support both here and personably is exceptional. Other add-on makers (Cigraph mainly) and Graphisoft have a lot to learn about interaction with there users.

Very good point ... if only Graphisoft engaged with their users in the way Ralph does!

Yes, let's keep it this way.

Krippahl,

- as always, Ralph Wessel is the master!

- just a sidenote to the Sketchup issue: Sketchup Pro wouldn't help, because since Sketchup is a surface polygon modeler, its exported 3D DWGs would still be hollow.

- I'd - please - like to know the exact procedure for making .kmz files in Sketchup and getting them into Archicad?

Install the Google Earth Add-On.
Then you will be able to open KMZ and SKP files with the File\Open command.
