HP Sauce Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Is there any way to subtract from walls without them being converted to Solid Subtractions? Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 No. What are you trying to do? Quote Link to comment
HP Sauce Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Perhaps we're looking at this problem the wrong way then. The project we're using to test VW's prowess uses two different wall construction types, one for up to 2'6" elevation and another from 2'6" to 9'. We use PIOs to place doors and windows in the latter of the two walls, then planned to subtract the remaining opening from the 2'6" wall. Which obviously isn't kosher. How would one model such an occurrence whilst keeping in tune with a true BIM and the supplied VW tools? Cheers for the help. Quote Link to comment

quigley Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 You might want to try the new cut wall opening feature as part of symbols in VW2009. I haven't tried it for this application yet though but it might work. Not sure it you could set it up to cut a different wall? Quote Link to comment
M.CH Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Is there any way to subtract from walls without them being converted to Solid Subtractions? Can you submit your signature re OS and version? The wall tool is a hybrid object and you do not need to use subtract solids on it. Placing symbols/objects such as doors is done by placing said objects in walls. Quote Link to comment
