Custom Wall Profile/SEO Problem

Dwight · ‎2006-11-28

In this custom wall profile - vaulted roof with walls, I've trimmed a short segment with SEO slabs into tapered segments for multiplying in an arc.

When assembled, the pieces won't go - there's some kind of SEO trim conflict where little tapered triangles are cut into what should be solid material.

See attached.

Even individually assigning the SEO does not fix it.

Hello Dwight,
Could you tell us how you finally got this to work ?
Thanks,

Once Worldwide Link identified the solution - layer priorities - I assigned alternating elements alternating layers (total=2 layers, priority 1 and priority 2) and the triangular slots disappeared.

Viola.

I am doing a lot of that stuff these days so it is nice to have a solution.

why did you have to use SEO's? couldn't you have space-clicked your wall onto the desired curved line. the 'magic wand settings' could be set to define the number of segments you're after?

just a thought . . .

I was unaware that custom profile could be lead around in circles?
Space clicking on a curved path yields a different wall - a square block.

When you try to trick Archicad into drawing a curved profile, you get a rectangular profile the same size instead 😞
