Sloped walls

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to slope the top of a wall, so for example in section, the top right corner will be lower then the top left. (not a leaning wall)

PS Ive now got my archicad8 as so many of you people were emphasising an upgrade was due from 7. Ive got the solids to import from ADT, will it be any different now i have got archicad 8?

If the roof is planar, it's rather easy : use the roof tool and see the help file concerning the edition of hatches | slab | roofs in plan (polygons edition by clicking the edge of the element and curving it), then cut the walls with the roof

If the roof is curved, you'll have 2 solutions (probably more) :
1. use the curved roof tools that will draw a series of planar roof connected to each other, then edit them in plan as for any other polygonal element, then cut the walls with each roof
2. use a library part to describe the vault, then use SEO to remove the unwanted part of this vault (by drawing a big slab with a hole following the edge of your desired plan view, for exemple), then use SEO once again to remove the unwanted part of the wall... this might not be possible as cutting a wall with a vault (GDL object) was still impossible in AC8.1RC4...

In the 'probably more' section;

- Use the profiler addon to create an extrusion the (max) 'width' of the roof. This allows for any shape of roof (curve).
- S/E operations with a couple of slabs in plan.
