Hello,
I try to have zinc joints on walls and roofs so i use curtain wall but it isn’t very practical …
Is there a way to do that directly in wallstyle?
I see this tuto for roof and slab but not for wall :

Hi @Henry_Boutet_de_Monv in VisualARQ 3 it is possible to create wall styles from Grasshopper definitions. When we release VisualARQ3, we will also publish a page at the VisualARQ website with an example of it.
If you want to try it now in the Beta version, just need to know that the GH file you use for the wall style requires a curve for the wall path, and a parameter for the wall height as linked properties. You will be asked for these parameters in the GH Styles Wizard.
Hi @fsalla,
I don’t find the example for custom wall style in the visual arq website?
Hi @Henry_Boutet_de_Monv you can find a tutorial to create a wall from a Grasshopper style here: Walls and Curtain walls - VisualARQ
The link to download the GH file seems broken, so I’ll fix this asap. I attach it here as well:

Ok thanks, i try but I can’t put joint covers in the corners ( i try different solutions with ends points, controls points of the main curve)

And also i have bugs with windows in grasshopper style slab for roof and slab

I can see the “covers” are trimmed by the automatic wall join calculation. If you edit that wall joinand set it to “None”, the covers will appear.
This a current limitation. Slabs or roofs created as GH styled can’t host doors or windows right now. We will improve this in future updates.
Hi @fsalla ,
I find a way for the roof
but i must update the good surface when i create windows maybe there is a way with domain to extract just the two “higher” surfaces or at least the biggests surface of the visual arq roof ?

Hi @Henry_Boutet_de_Monv, you can try to explode the roof, filter the faces that are pointing upwards, and then sort them by area…
If it helps, I’ve developed this simple example to extract the upper top surfaces of a roof (but regular roofs, not those created as GH styles).
