Model a curved wall in BlenderBIM

1. R by RaphaëlVouilloz on 10 Oct 2023, edited 11 Oct 2023 #

   Hi,

   How would you model a curved Wall?

   Is there a way to edit the axe as a curve ? (to keep the layerset)

   Or would you draw a footprint to be extruded vertically?

   Or would you model as a tessellation ?

   I don't think it's currently possible.

   could do this way:

   It's not currently possible to edit layersets with curved axes.

   @theoryshaw 's method works to model true curves but alas it requires a bit of understanding of how to draw profiles and is sloooooow :)

   Is there no ExtrudeProfileAlongPath functionality in IFC?

   Something like this can't be used to make a curved IfcWall?

   Disregard this, didnt read the OP, he asked about layersets.

   I believe so, go here, and search for the word swept in the page.

   The video i posted above, uses IfcExtrudedAreaSolid.
