Steps to create a complex shaped mesh

1. Open the Mesh Generator in ArchiCAD 14 (and up) and set the curve you want. Place the object with the Rotated Diagonal method. This way you can choose the direction and length immediately. In the floorplan a projection of the elevation is shown for easy understanding the geometry.
