Rotate 3D and 3d cut

[Anonymous]

Hi , I have a few importatnt questions bout Achicad. Can i rotate 3d object in Ac9 in 3 dimension like Autocad( command: 3d rotate)? and can we cut a wall in forms?

Only if the object has the appropriate 3D rotation parameters coded into it, not actually a 3D rotate command as such, and for your second question.....huh Can you elaborate please?

What do you mean by cutting a wall in forms ?

I don't understand why Graphisoft don´t already add in all objects the parameters ROTX and ROTY.
I know it's very easy to add this in the 3dscript, but rotate is something so important that it should be a standard parameter for all AC's objects.

Anyway, this would specially help newbies like the above question.

wait a little for A.C. 10 and you can rotate in 3 direction.

When do you need a chair or a toilet or a kitchen cabinet rotated in 3D, and what is it going to look like in plan?

There was one - actually a whole bathroom tilted over - on the Bo 2001 exposition in Malmö, Sweden. Very evocative. Water was gushing out from every opening, tub, toilet, sink, all the time, constantly flooding the room, only stopped by a ditch in front from flooding the whole exposition. One of the best art installations I've seen!

Yes! Think about art!

Ahhh, you'll be wanting the ArtyFartyCAD add-on then.

More seriously, I guess this is a solution to this topic:
