modeling shape (side screening)

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I need some help with modeling a funny shape side screening. I'm using Archicad 9. I'll try to attach some images so you can better understand what I'm after. If anyone could help, it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Regards,
Danivici

Thank you all for your replys
Ralph: Yes, that's what I'm trying to produce

I modelled that with OBJECTiVE http://www.encina.co.uk/objective.html
The process is quite simple:

• 1) Draw a cross-section through shape using the fill tool and use OBJECTiVE's tool to create a section profile object
  2) Place the profile in an elevational view (along the platform length)
  3) Use OBJECTiVE's Bend tool to shape the profile to the required radius
  4) The finished object can be multiplied across the required length.

The object retains all its intelligence so it can be freely reshaped (it isn't dumbed down by bending, cutting, rotating etc) and provides sensible scheduling feedback (as seen in the user interface)

The error says something about "wall connections"? That's strange, as the Profiler doesn't involve any wall in AC9. Maybe someone else here knows what that error is about.
I've tried using the "profiler" technique (no walls) in AC12 and it works.
