Hello Everyone.
I am very new to Archicad and I have been told to model this i-house to learn the ropes.
I have got the walls, slab, glass etc but I cannot for the life of me get the roof and back wall (one piece)?
Any guidance at all would be greatly appreciated.
Should I make the shape in another program and import it as an object?
The roof has many strange angles on the edges and from bottom to top.
Picture can be found here and if you are keen it is called the i-house and it is under Works>House>i-House on this website

Thankyou very much for your help.

The edges look razor sharp...couldn't be concrete!?I've seen (and cast in rubber-coated formwork) white concrete mixed from white cement, fine-grade sand and plastic (polymer) fibers of some kind. Gives razor-sharp edges if you like. But I don't have the recipe.
