U can use the section tool to get a perpendicular view on that wall, then draw in that section view the funny hole shape and finally, as beforw, use SEO to cut out. In that (2D) view you can also control and edit the boundaries of the cutting morph...
@@JDArchitecture i would draw the section line right on the aligment line on the wall. Then draw your shape with the morph and extend in 3d, cut SEO. Probably you make a part two of the vid (just to show how close archicad is to revit..)😉
Selection of the empty openings is a pain the neck in Archicad. I somehow managed to move the empty opening to the edge of the wall because I needed half of the opening (the "wall" is a cupboard door) then I copied and mirrored the cupboard door and arranged it in a symmetrical way - so far so good but the last step is almost impossible to execute - the selection of the empty opening of the second cupboard door.
Hmmm, sounds like you're doing a lot. I am not sure If I am following how you are using the 'Solid Element Operation' tool but try exploring alternative methods for creating cupboards :) Feel free to go into more detail and perhaps if I can chisel out more time I can address this in another video!
Great tutorial, but how does it show in the floorplan? Does it cut exactly the way the wall is cut (so, what you see is what you get) or do you see the symbolic view of the wall (without the whole)?
Thank you! Good Question, Unfortunately you can only see the symbolic view of the wall without the SEO.... I'm sure there is a way to fix this but I am not aware of any solutions :(
hi, can you do a tutorial on how to make complex custom railings? like for example volute type railings something like that and also I was struggling on adjusting the placement of Newel Post and the balusters to fit in the treads of the stair.
oooo, that one is a tricky one! I will need some time to figure it out myself but hopefully I can get some content about complex rails in the future :)
It really does come down to what your comfortable with. People will give you split opinions on which is better or more efficient but for me they’re both VERY similar, they can do essentially the same things with the same time. It’s always good to try learn archicad as well then you can make a decisions based on what you personally prefer to use.
I know what you mean! Eventually though the tables may turn and you’ll find revit the complicated one. I think it really comes down to which one you end up using the most :) You got this!
Yeah the opening tool is the best way to do it these days! I believe it was a new tool that came out with Archicad 23... so prior to this, this method was the best way to do it. I do note too that this is Archicad 23 but at the time of recording I hadn't become familiar with the new tool
I cant Believe so much trouble for so SIMPLE operation. I Mean, the guys at archicad tought "okay, basically no one will ever use a triangle shaped wall, so, lets not include this shit.
Haha yeah, it’s a pain, there are some other ways of doing it with just morphs but at the end of the day this operation is much simpler in Revit. One day they’ll fix it though (hopefully).
The tutorial here is for Archicad, It shows snippets from Revit to help people who have prior knowledge of how to use Revit but are learning Archicad. Let me know if you would like to see any tutorials for Revit though! :)
Hi Kisembo, I unfortunately haven’t made a layers video yet! But I will start getting it in the works and hopefully upload it soon! Is there anything in particular that you are struggling to understand about Archicad layers?

Great input, yes trying to draw the extents of the morph in 3D can be frustrating! A section would make it much easier. Thanks!

I just found your channel... As an architecture student you just saved my life
Glad it helped, I hope you're studies are going well!
Thanks for the tutorial! Im tyring to transition over and it is extremely helpful!
Wow, that's awesome, I have been struggling to do this
U R A GENIUS!!! Thanks so much!
I don't know about that but thanks for your kind words! I am glad it helped :)
Hey, it would be much appreicated if you can create a tutorial for creating layers in Archicad.
Great idea! You’ve inspired me to make more content. Hopefully it will be out soon!
Hi, Thank you so much!...
You are welcome :)

nice bro well done
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Heyy do you help people individually?
Great tutorial, but how does it show in the floorplan? Does it cut exactly the way the wall is cut (so, what you see is what you get) or do you see the symbolic view of the wall (without the whole)?
Thank you!

@@JDArchitecture Yes, it is the most not cool part. the wall after SEO can't show correct 2d plan appearence.

Which software is the best in terms of fast work?. Revit or archicad. I feel more comfortable with Revit.

Revit is more easy i am also trying to learn archicad but its complicated as compared to revit 😢 by the way useful video 👍

draw any shape you want slab and save selection as window
ay, nice!
Dude, how about the opening tool…

Can you send me your layers video
