Can this roof be built in Archicad?

Anonymous · ‎2009-06-16

Hello everyone!
Im trying to build a barrel vaulted roof in 3D, I use the instructions of the Help that names my roof rounded,
I was wandering if this roof can also have an angle from the side of the arc.

thank you

Yes.
In the floor plan window draw the arc and the connecting straight making sure the ends meet.
Magic wand the barrel vault roof (roof tool active) onto this linework

I am of the opinion that barrel roofs created with the roof tool are obsolete.

The geometry is difficult to manage, the faceting hideous and editing cumbersome. Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap.

For ANY roof form with irregularity or curvature, the COMPLEX PROFILE EXTRUDED AS A WALL IS THE ANSWER.

But after that, you have to use SEO and it is not as good as it should be. Too bad the profile tool cannot be applied on roofs and slabs
