pyramid problem

[Duc]

Hello everyone, I'm a new user. I would like your help since I have archicad 13 for a few days and a project to be completed. So the building is a square-based pyramid and so far there are. My problem lies in the "cut" perpendicularly two ends to get in and out. I attach evidence that I had done as a draft with another program.

How did you generate the pyramids?

 

[Duc]

then on archicad, on the square plant I built the walls with the inclination I needed and in the 3d came out the pyramid. for now I've only done the inside

 

[DarthVader]

and the cuts made them with solid elements operations?

 

[Duc]

I haven't made the cuts yet on archicad because I can't. pictures are sketches made with another program

 

[DarthVader]

Okay. I suggest you use the courten walls. to tilt them just make them in section. to cut them right button, divide cw

 

[Duc]

I'll try. Thank you.

 

[DarthVader]

It's not complicated, everything is written on the online guide. if you have problems, then let's see that you can do

 

[Duc]

Get me back! I found it difficult to use curtain walls so I tried and tried with normal walls. I found a solution by dissecting the ends of the pyramid with two solids, then using the operations between solid elements. the result satisfies me a lot, but now the problem moves on the section I have to do in the top of the glass. help
while I attach the images of the result obtained

 

[DarthVader]

What section do you have to do?

 

[Duc]

the tip of the outer pyramid in glass.. you see in the first pictures I had posted

 

[DarthVader]

If you want to continue using Boolean operations, put 2 bonfires and upper extrusion sizes.
I advised you to use cw to avoid problems that with boolene operations usually occur later, especially if you need to decrease the scale.

 

[Duc]

I did! Thank you very much :smile: I attach the images of what done. Now another problem:redface: to make clear the tip of the pyramid I used triangular windows, and now I should do other parts in glass. I looked in the library a window with a suitable trapezoidal shape but I found nothing. I attach a draft that I had done with the other parts that I want to make in glass (I will definitely make changes)

 

[DarthVader]

you can always use boleane operations with solid window shape to flush and overlap thin glass walls. or you can search for a suitable library object (exist, but I don't think I can tell you where to find it here on the forum).
Of course if you had made the pyramid with the cw you would not have had this problem:wink:
