Wavy wall modeling in archicad, possible?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Im doing a brick research and I would like to see the attached image as a wall or shell in archicad, but i dont know the correct steps to do it, or is it not possible? straigt line at the top, like a curtain.

Some hardcore 3D modelers out there that can solve this puzzle?

Cheers!

I think you can get pretty close to those shapes using the Ruled Shell. See this youtube video:

and/or all of the videos here:

To control the lofting / bulging, you will probably have to create some intermediate slices.

You won't be able to have it appear to be made out of loosely assembled brick as in your image - but could approximate that with an alpha-masked texture image applied to the final result perhaps.

Cheers,
Karl
