I could model that in ArchiCAD. I could also build a house with just my hatchet and a string. It's just not very productive.

In this case, the forms have not been refined into manufacturalble and constructible parts yet. It's still quite free-form. From my perspective, there is no such thing as a free-form building, unless its a mud hut or something which does not need plans anyway.

I think ArchiCAD is for doing just the opposite of free-form. ArchiCAD is for producing the documentation/plans necessary to transforming this sort of free-form shape into something buildable that can be constructed with precision. I could do that with ArchiCAD. I could produce a good set of working drawings to be used for constructing a building of that specific shape. If you want to pay me for my time I will do it....with ArchiCAD.

@Jose: in 5 minutes for this ? it's look amazing! How can you do that? a curtain wall with custom panels ?

Hi all,

I' looking for the way to model something like that. I had to model a number of "Pipes" run in many directions. Finally i did it with Cadimage tool, but is there any way to create a real space framing around the pipes rather than use texture materials?

any advice is appreciated !
