Dome

[Anonymous]

hi,
I want to construct a dome with steel structure (space frames). Is there any libraries (except those included in archicad) to help me? Any possibility to find an already constructed dome to put it to my plan?

try it with the trussmaker tool; make only one single lattice girder, then multiply it (rotation mode).
for the roof you can use the roof-tool; there is an option for the construction of cupola roofs.
if you need further help, feel free to ask

I know that, with trussmaker tool you can make a lattice girder, but how can I make it curved to fit underneath the cupola roof? As far I know, with trussmaker u can only construct a simple, classic roof.... :confused:

I'm not sure, if trussmaker works with curved lines, but you can draw a segmented version of your circular arc. i tried it and this seems to work well.
