Hi Dave,
I expect they would have used a modelling program like cinema3d or 3dstudio to actually model such complex shapes and then imported it in.
It is possible to do a slightly less complex version directly in AC10 by using a combination of profiled walls and SEOing shapes out of it. You could then make a library part out of it and manually add in some code to make it storey sensitive to display properly with the floor plan cutplane.
Below is my proof-of-concept attempt which took about an hour to make. (Mines the one on the left!!
)
Hope that helps!
Pete.

Any place where i can read about this specific code?To be honest, I only got it half working and it was a fudge at best. (See picture below!)
I think it should be easy enough to create a 'universal' piece of code that you could drop into almost any library part to make it cut plane sensitive.
The route I was attempting (although perhaps wrong and very inefficient) was to set a cutplane to the FPCP height in the library part that cuts off everything above, and then display the model with a thin pen. This would give the outline of the part. Then I created another cutplane that removed everything below and above and just left the cut, which I wanted to display with a thicker line. When both were overlayed it should have given a correct view of the library part.
Maybe we should ask the question in the libraries and GDL forum. I'm sure someone with more expertise could figure it out in 5 mins!
To import a 3d Studio model download the goodie from the Graphisoft website. see here for example -

there should be a universal code.. coz if u tried maxonform ? it will work on any object or shape you modify in maxonform ... hmmm... ok i'll try that in library section.. thanx alot
and nice model btw
Still looking?
