Deconstruct Zones/Walls - Additional Surface Types

How do I get the geometry of the additional surface types of ArchiCAD-Zones and Walls?

Those are breps but don't produce any geometry from the output of the component.

Hi Adebar,

I've tried these several times with different results. Some of the outputs work and some not. And I can't figure out yet whats the reason behind (Wall/Zone Type?).

My best workaround is to transfer the Brep of the Archicad Element into Rhino and use the "deconstruct Brep" in Rhino to get the surfaces and verticies etc. Perhaps you have to sort them visually or by list for your needs.

Hi Nurbs,

 

thanks a lot. Though it's not very handy having to manually select a certain surface of a brep by sliding until I found it.
Doesn't make it very parametric... I will not accept this as a solution:-D
