Quonset structure

Michael
Contributor
Has anyone used wall commands, or other ArchiCAD commands to draw a "quonset" structure, that is a barrel vault, metal ribbed, prefabricated, building type?

If so which command was used?

It is understood there are primary objects that could define a space, however, like the "log" wall command, perhaps a ribbed vaulted wall command exists.....j

You can easily make a ribbed/corrugated vaulted structure with OBJECTiVE:
  • 1. Draw a cross section through the ribbed structure
    2. Make a new section profile
    3. Use the Bend tool to vault the profile
See the attached image for an illustration.

Is this the kind of thing you're looking for? You can see more about OBJECTiVE at http://www.encina.co.uk/objective.html
