Archistyles Posted October 21, 2024 Share Posted October 21, 2024 (edited) Hello Any idea how to deal with tapered wall components? I need to show ICF wall with tapered conc. & insulation at the top Please see attached example thx ICF-with-double-taper-top-to-wood-framing-and-siding-pdf.pdf Edited October 21, 2024 by Archistyles Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted October 21, 2024 Share Posted October 21, 2024 You could achieve this with a symbol inserted in the Wall... ...but it would be quite a lot of work to do it throughout a large model + I'm not sure how big the benefit would be as presumably the only place you'd see it is in a couple of section viewports? With this being the case it would probably be more practical to just draw it in the Annotation space. (I just used a Wall that came to hand in my example) 2 Quote Link to comment

Do you mind sharing the Vectorworks file of your example? that will be big help . cheers Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted October 21, 2024 Share Posted October 21, 2024 Sure it's in VW2025 do I need to convert to VW2024...? Quote Link to comment
Archistyles Posted October 21, 2024 Author Share Posted October 21, 2024 Super 👍 VW 2025 is good thx Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted October 21, 2024 Share Posted October 21, 2024 Here you go: Wall Cutter Symbol.vwx The symbol is designed to be inserted in the midpoint of the Wall. Just double click in Top/Plan on the Midpoint. The insertion point of the symbol aligns with the top of the Wall so whatever the Wall height, make this the height of the symbol as well. The symbol is 1m long + designed to be scaled asymmetrically in the OIP. My Wall is 5m long so the X scale factor for the symbol is 5 so that it matches the Wall. Hope that all makes sense. 3 Quote Link to comment
