Hi everybody. I was wondering, can I create sandwich panel by using wall tool?
The panel looks like this:
I built it using railing tool. It was easy, but I couldn't create an opening inside of it. Then I tried to dig into log wall but couldn't get the desired result. Is there any way in the wall tool to make sandwich panel like this?
Thank you in advance!

The accessories add-ons are part of the 'Goodies' add-ons download ...

But if you are using Archicad 26 and have not installed the goodies yet, you will need to follow this procedure ...

I am not sure if you need the accessories to use the BIMObject sandwich panels? - I have never used them.

So this is how I use them..
I downloaded the first one from this manufacturer https://www.bimobject.com/en/europerfil/product/atica_1100_pur
Draw a wall, select it and follow the path
select your panel and customize it as you want
Taa-daa
Hope this helped!

Alternative solution:
I use columns since they automatically clean up with walls.

I use wall accessories for this
here you can download a lot of sandwich panels: https://www.bimobject.com/en/categories/walls/sandwich-panels?native=true&software=archicad&sort=dow...

Thanks for your reply. Could you please help me find the accessories addition?

Wouldn't you be able to use a Profile for the wall?
Then it would behave as a normal wall and you could insert openings as you see fit?
Downloaded sandwich panels look great but have a tendency to be very detailed and could slow down the model (depending on the size of your project).
Also, accessories work well if they are well built - but again. I have seen accessories that cripple a simple model because the geometric elements are far, far too detailed.
That said, give it a go - see whatever works for you and good luck 🙂

Profiled walls are also cool, but it would work for horizontal alignment of sandwich panels. In my case I need the vertical alignment of them.

Cool. I've downloaded "Goodies" add-on. I am using Archicad 25 and where can I download the accessories library elements? Because when I go to the accessories settings, it's empty.

You should find you now have an 'Accessories Library' in your Archicad 25 program folder which you need to load in your Library Manager.

One last question; How do I add the sandwich panel object downloaded from the BIM site to the accessories library?
