a newbie question...

[Anonymous]

Hello there...
i am new to this forum and new to archicad...

Here is my silly question.
i have tired all day in archicad trying to create a glass wall with panel.
however, i can only come up with a glass wall without any panel or support by using wall tools.

just wondering, is there any other way to create a glass wall with panel or support.

cheers.

thx a lot

I'd also love to know how to do this for a personal project on the backburner for awhile, I dabble about in it from time to time, but I've yet to come up with a good method of modeling a structural glass curtainwall, such as one of the full heighth glass fin units from oldcastle glass... something like this: http://www.oldcastleglass.com/structural_overview.php

cheers,

Have you tried the Curtain Wall Object under Object> Doors and Windows> Curtain Wall?

thx for the fast reply...that look alright..

to daniel

looks like you need to get this kind of wall by using external object.

And one more question....is there any ways to build a non-vertical way in archicad?...( i have tried the roof tools...it seems a bit hard to get it accurate)

Ah Zip
If for non-vertical you mean tilted/sloping walls (and other things) try doing a search here in the forum. (Search link under banner above) You'll come up with results like this where it has been discussed before.

Hope this helps.
