Trapezoidal walls

Hello

I really need to make these kind of walls (see the picture) where in elevation looks like a trapez. I tried to make a slab with that shape in floor plan but I do not know how to flip it vertically.

Thanks

Use a regular wall and add a custom shape opening to create the slope.

Or you could use something like a morph, but it won't be considered a wall, so no doors or windows.

In addition to Barry's suggestions, you can use a Roof to SEO (Solid Element Operation) the Wall, then hide the Roof's layer.

 

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Hello! I tried but I think I did something wrong because it doesn"t work.

The opening can be any shape you want.

Just place it and adjust the shape.
