WALL CLOSURE


Recommended Posts

Is there a simple step by step tutorial and or video showing how to make wall components wrap around a window.

 

There are a lot of slick videos showing that there is great control over this now but nothing that breaks it down.  It looks simple enough but it but its just not working for me.  

 

Im looking for a 3'0" masonry opening with the gyp bd wrapped at the interior head, jamb and a wood sill

This should help if you haven't read it yet: https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2023/eng/VW2023_Guide/Walls/Wall_closure_settings.htm

 

Aside from the Wall closure settings in the Wall, make sure the wall has a core component and the the insert has "Use wall closures" selected in the "Plug-in Object Options", "Plug-in Object Style Options", or "Symbol Options" dialog accordingly.

I've been trying for years to get any openings to wrap per the instructions. At this point I've have yet to ever make a single wall opening work correctly.  

 

Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

 

I've attached a file containing a single wall (12" concrete with 1" of stucco on each face). I have a single opening. I set up the splay for 3" interior and 3" exterior. No change to the opening. I also set the stucco to wrap the entire opening. No change to the opening. It looks correct on the preview, but the opening won't change.

The problem is that you're using a Story-bound Wall in a file that is set up without Stories so it has zero height. If you edit the Wall to remove the Story bindings (i.e. make the Wall top + bottom bound to the Layer Elevation + make the component tops + bottoms relative to the Wall) + give it a height then the Wall Closures will behave as expected:
