How can I create a custom shaped Curtain Wall?

Description

I am designing a building in Archicad and need to incorporate an irregularly shaped curtain wall on my façade. How can I edit the perimeter of my curtain wall?

Solution

To change the shape of the curtain wall, you need to go to the Curtain Wall “Edit” mode. To do this:

1. Select the curtain wall and Go to “Edit” mode.
2. In Edit mode, turn off everything, except “Scheme Grid”. This is done so we can clearly see the reference line which we will use on the next step. It is also best to turn on the “Environment” to snap any reference pattern we need.

1. Click the reference line (Blue thick line at the perimeter) of the curtain wall, click "add node" in the pet palette, then adjust according to the pattern you desire.

1. Exit Edit mode when done.
