Creating Wall Recess efficiently

[George K]

Hi,

Trying to use the wall recess tool under the AEC tab efficiently ... my question is

is there an option of creating a wall recess (i.e to create a skirting board run) along a string of walls (and types) without having to create a number of extrudes and having to go through the process a number of times?

Thank you

...Actually it seems that it doesn't matter which way it's used, it still doesn't work. It either leaves a small nib at the intersection of two walls or decides to delete entire wall.

Am I missing something?

Normally ive seen this done a few ways:

Add the skirting as a wall component for that particular wall style. A component could be added to the inside of the wall that functions as this skirt/baseboard.

For very complex runs, extrude along path, just tracing out (or extractive a curve/path from the walls directly) where youd want the skirting to follow, then extruding a profile of it along the entire thing at once, or at least in large chunks.

Unfortunately Wall Features have never worked at wall intersections (corners). I have commented on this numerous times. Seems to still be the case in the latest version.

Check out this thread I explain a way to do this.
