Pilgonico,

You can do this using Design > Complex Profiles.

Step 1. First draw the chape (vertical section) in the Profile Editor and end with Store Profile... f.e. name it "test".

Step 2. Activate the wall tool and select Complex Profile type.
Search for this profile (see options STRUCTURE)

Step 3. Then draw a straight wall. It will appear with your chape.
To make the wall curved :
- select wall
- activate wall tool
- move your cursor towards the active line of the wall and mouse-click
- select the icon for curved wall and stretch

Step 4. Result

Of course, this is only available in Archicad 11.

To do this trick in prior versions, you need to use the magic wand along an arc specifying short wall segments to SIMULATE a curve.

Indeed only version 11.

Without a proper signature one can only guess, isn't it Dwight?

I'm cutting the new guy some slack.

If he has the aptitude to operate Archicad, he will figure out that posting one's hardware and Archicad version improves the helpfulness of responses.
