How to model and build these

Alaa, Student • 2017

I know programs like revit and others can make 3D models for these curves but how to apply it on reality? Do they use just cables tell connect the curved wooden ceiling with the slab? Or they used other materials and techniques.

Jeffrey, Student

Hi Alaa As you already know, there are many ways to obtain this design. Option 1: Cables with a structure perpendicular to the finish material "wood" Or Option 2: It would be a grid for suspended ceiling with cables. But the best ways is to look for the specification of the product from a company of your area. Take care https://www.google.ca/...

Bobby, Architect • 2015

I'm designing a new residential project in california, and want to have a green roof on top of it.I'm having trouble finding information and feedback, on which product(s) are best and won't leak over time (obviously me and my client's biggest fair).

Carrie, Architect

There are a variety of green roofing products available with varied prices, ranging from reclaimed wood shingles to plastic ones so the best products would depend on the design and location of the house. Try GAF http://www.gaf.com/Roofing/Residential/Products/Shingles/Timberline if it suits your need and budget.

Most of our ArchiCAD object have got password protected to avoid the error when user try to directly open the object file. You can load object into the project library and use it in the project normally without open it, and you change settings through the object interface settings as well. Hope this could help.
