This is not perfect, but it is fast, providing smooth transitions but a slightly unequal wall thickness.

1: Place a conoid object to the correct width and depth of the element to be replicated. 180 degrees sweep.
2: Place another conoid beneath it to match, making a complete cone.
3: From a top view in the 3D window, SAVE the two conoid elements together as one BINARY library object.
4: Substitute this new object for the two placed conoids.
5: Reduce the vertical scale suitably - the binary object is elastic.
6: Use a hole in a slab to create the prow radius using SEO.

can i find the coincide object on library of archicad 14 of programme
or shall i made it could you tell me how i can make it using what i mean in 3d max we use loft to creat thid coincide how i can make this coincide in archicad
forgive me because i am not that much expert
Thanks

The Archicad library is easily searched but you need to spell the object name correctly.

The file path to the Conoid 14


We do not loft in Archicad.

Reviewing the original image, I see that it is cut in a prow AND with a forward angle.
I switch the solution to a tilted column with a Complex Profile/

nice one done but did u substract tilted column from conoid or you made a section of it on complex profile then using circular wall to prepare substract tilted column from it please show me if you used complex profile shape of the section and what is used circular wall as complex profile or what because only i know tilted column is operator i need to look at target shape fill and what is used on complex profile normal complex profile wall or cirular
Thanks Dwight
By the way i like the output you attached.

The complex profile fill is the grey convex shape in the lower left.

The complex profile as a column is the SUBTRACTION operator on the Binary Conoid assembly object.

You just need to have the courage to playfully explore these Archicad aspects to develop understanding.

Oh i got it please correct me if i am wrong you made the grey one beside your output one as complex profile column to make it play role of subtraction from conoid
so conoid will be target in substraction while the tilted column revolved will be operator so we will reach to this shape
right
Thanks Dwight
