Ability to angle vertical sides of a wall

[Kevin K]

This has probably been discussed previously, but you know the old saying..."the squeeky wheel gets the grease'. 🙂

I realize 'sloped' walls have long been on the wishlist,  but it would also be desirable to be able to angle the left and/or right sides of a wall in elevation.

You can add peaks, etc but splaying a wall where the top is wider than the bottom doesn't seem possible...unless I am just totally missing something.

 

Case in point, check the screenshot and note the splayed wall next to the yellow arrow. I did some workaround tricks to facilitate this, but it would sure be nice if the wall tool could create walls like this....top wider than the bottom.

Is this what you mean:

 

 

 

You can do this with the Edit Wall tool.

I guess I was missing something!

I thought I had tried that, but apparently not as successful as you did!

good to know…I will revisit 

Thanks!

I always end up adding tons of points, moving each of them to determine which ones are going to go in the direction I want them to, then deleting the surplus ones. It's always a bit hit or miss but gets there in the end most of the time!

Now that box has been ticked….we just need to be able to angle walls other than the usual 90 degrees vertically!

Hi,

 

My preferred method is to model generic solids that represent the volume

I want to subtract from the wall and edit the bottom or top edge of the wall with

the option: "Fit walls to objects".
