Unfortunately not. This has been a bugbear of mine for years but I've never got round to providing feedback to VW asking them to change this, so I'm going to do that right now.

I have a copy of VW 2009 that can open back to MiniCad 7 I believe.

To those who have tried it, what do you think of it so far? I tried installing it but I just get a little cross-hair cursor that doesn't do anything. Edit: had to uninstall has it kept crashing VW, even when not being used.

Since when did Wall Features start working at corners of walls? In v2026, not only can I add wall projections up to the corner of a wall but past the corner too. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to apply a texture to the projection (independent of any textures that already exist in the other wall components).

How about using a Door and Window Assembly object instead, with panel removed? Then you can reshape it easily to suit the inserted wall.

Hi, can you post a file?

Actually, one way around it would be to modify the wall hole in the main bit of wall to perfectly match the wall peaks in the inserted bit of wall. @Matt Panzer I assume you used a symbol with a 3D wall hole to cut the shape in the wall? Or maybe a DWA object?

That's a much tidier and logically consistent way to do it, but my method does avoid the line in the wall if that's a problem for somebody. @Matt Panzer that thing where you can't get a perfectly vertical wall peak, why is that? And is it a limitation that you're planning to remove in the foreseeable future?

Or keep chopping it up for the made good bits. Haven't quite figured out how to show the opening as white with just the made good bits hatched though. challenge2.vwx

Have I got the brief right? challenge.vwx

Oh thanks Matt, yes silly me, it's in beta I'm experiencing this, 31.5.0 (858544) Thanks for adding me to the bug report, that was super cool to see a Jira email for a bug I didn't think I had even got round to reporting properly yet! 😄

Yes, but that was the scenario I was putting to Katarina, which is that I was starting with a file set up in this way. Have I contaminated my file using this method and need to undo it before configuring georeferencing? Aren't all files georeferenced by default, so it makes more sense to say "not advisable on a geoferenced layer"?

Good question. Since I watched an instructional by Martyn Horne many moons ago, that's how I've always gone about positioning my model relative to internal origin.

Pretty sure somebody is going to come tell you that phase and status are two different things and that VW phasing has these statuses built in.

I think it goes like this: rather than simply demolish the window, chop the wall up vertically and horizontally so that you can demolish the amount of wall you want to remove to form the new opening (and demolish the window as part of the section of wall you're removing). Then place a new section of wall into the opening and add whatever you want to the new bit of wall.
