how to create complex 3d wall

[TMM]

1. how to create a 3d wall as the image below in vectorwork?

 

2. Is it possible to create a 3d object of the wall and assign structure and materials to it? (I don't think I could add structural components or material layers in the 3d objects. Not sure.. 

 

 

Thanks!

1.

 

Use 3D Wall Hole Component symbols to clip the holes in the Wall + the Reshape Tool to create the angle on the side.

 

2.

 

You can assign Materials to 3D objects + therefore report on them in the same way as Wall components which are using Materials. If you check 'Merge With Structural Objects in Sections' in the OIP for those 3D objects you can merge them with Wall/Slab/Roof components in section VPs so that they are indistinguishable from those components.

Thanks Tom,

 

But the reshape tool only allows me to change the peaks of the wall vertically, not horizontally. Did I do something wrong? 

 

Thanks!

Add the necessary vertices + you can create whatever shape you want.

I did add vertices in the reshape tool, but the corner point could not be dragged horizontally, but only vertically. 

 

Any solution?

You can do quite a lot with the Reshape Tool. This is a combination of a wall hole symbol + the Reshape Tool:

Amazing! Thanks!
