custom profile around the inside of a wall opening

[Anonymous]

hi,

I've created a flattened triangular custom profile that I want to run all the way round an opening in a wall...I've tried it as a beam and as a wall but it doesn't want to play...

Any way of doing this?

TIA

Sketch?

Which Archicad? Which OS?

You would probably need to do it in three parts, a beam for the horizontal and two columns for the vertical

My hardware is....

AC 10 Version 1010

Mac OS X 10.4.8

I tried using the magic wand in the 3d window but I didn't hold out much hope....

Any suggestions?

TIA

Adri

Do all three pieces of the Profile using Complex Walls in plan (the Complex Wall should use the Profile you posted)) and then save it as GDL. You will have to rotate it 90 degrees to stand it up if you save it as an Object. If you save it as a Window/Door, it will be stood upright automatically by the program.

... and if you save an additional slab with the ID of wallhole, it will open up any wall automatically.

See Object Making with Archicad, the part where the windows and doors creation fromt the plan is discussed.
