Fit walls to roof and Revert

[CS1]

I would like it if after a wall has been "fit to roof" if it could be undone.

Or if aftr a wall has ben "fit to roof" the lower hieght and upper height were displayed in the OIP so at least it could be manually reverted.

What are people doing at the moment?

As far as I can see the two options are: redraw the walls or manually select each wall and use the 3D locis to drag the points down. (great for large plans)

Instead of dragging the points down, why not use the remove wall peaks mode (minus sign) to just remove them. You might still have to adjust the ones at one or both ends to make the top "square" again. Then you can use the height field in the OIP to set the correct height.

I was thinking more along the lines of a mono-pitch roof, this happens to be the case for the job I am working on at the moment. I have "fitted" the walls to the mono-pitch roof but now going to be using flat ceiling so I need all my walls back at one stud height. Dont know of a quick way to do this.

Put a temporary 3D object at the desired height and use Fit to Roof to fit to that object.

Ah ha great, thanks for that Pat!

FWIW, one note of caution: although the method Pat describes works fine (I use it often), there is one small flaw in it. It will leave all vertices which were added during the "fit to" process in place (all lined up horizontally). This might create problems later. To remove them simply double click on the wall which will give you the "3d reshape" cursor, then select the "-" sign mode and click on each unwanted/unneeded vertex. You can also use 3d reshape to fit (or unfit) walls that don't behave well using "fit walls to roof" (although I haven't seen one really misbehave in a while). P

Robert Anderson posted a script a while back to "unfit" walls.

It sorta works and can reduce the time when there are many walls to be unfit.

But a real "unfit" command that deletes the vertices and flattenes the top doesn't seem like too much to wish for.
