Custom profile wall describing the top of your wall and long as much as your wall is thick.

Or, flat roof plus vaulted roof plus flat roof cutting off the unwanted portion.

Or, SEO

Many ways ...

Listen to yourself dude. You had a similar reply to another post - why don't you RTFM? Or do a search? or get some basic training? You can't expect to take up these power user's valuable time with such simple questions!

And put your toys back in your pram.

if you must know, im a student in search of a little help, i did a search and nothing came up. whats an RTFM.

And dont jump to conclusions - surely your responsible enough to know tat by now

RTFM is very rude, but in this case, appropriate. I'd tell you to look RTFM up in the list of internet acronyms, but I'd be falling into the same trap as everybody else, expecting users to celebrate their problem-solving aptitude.

You correctly identify the sloped wall as a weakness in Archicad modeling that receives constant discussion [and plenty of whining, myself included]. It would be great to assign individual heights to each wall node and maintain the utility the wall tool brings us - automatic window openings for instance. Archicad doesn't do this.

There are three ways to do this once you have made a wall to the maximum height you will need.

1: Solid Element Operation: You must cut the wall down using a shaped Solid Element Operator - instructions on page 261 of the USA Manual.

2: Roof Tool "Trim to Roof" page 207

3: An irregular shaped Complex Profile Wall - page 197.

The diagrams our colleagues provided already are enough to solve this. Why not try it all three ways [from Sunday]?

or a step by step guide?

These are the manuals they are refering to. Please don't tell me you still don't know where the help file is after two months of using ArchiCAD!!
