George K Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Hi all, Is there a way of returning the wall finish on a non cased opening so that it appears without a double line in elevation. (i.e like it would if it wasn't a cased opening) Thanks GK Edited January 23, 2014 by George K Quote Link to comment

George K Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi Tried but for some odd reason it doesn't seem to upload the images or files so here is a visual description! Blockwork wall with render on both sides. Insert a door (non cased opening). Opening formed but render does not return in to opening. This gives the desired effect in elevation but not in plan A way around it in plan is by creating a cased opening and changing the jamb hatch and thickness to match the render giving the desired effect in plan but when viewed in elevation you get the jamb line appear around the door.

CipesDesign Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 If by "render" you mean "Texture" (??) then you can try selecting the Wall, clicking on the Render Tab in the Object Info Palette (OIP) and making sure that the Wall Part "Opening" (and "Start Cap" and "End Cap") are set to use the Texture? To post an image, click on the Switch to Full Reply Screen button, below. Then click on File Manager>Choose File>Add File>Done Adding Files. I know it's tedious, but that's the way it is...

George K Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi Peter, By render i mean plaster finish on either side of blockwork . So wall buildup is 15mm Plaster, 140mm Blockwork, 15mm Plaster. i would like the plaster to return into the opening in the same way you can do with the wall end cap tool. GK Tried image thing but still no luck. has worked in the past. Quote Link to comment
VincentCuclair Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Try using a door cased opening with 1mm jamb thickness and wall width, then apply the texture you want to the 'door'.... images to upload should be less than 5Mb and a jpeg or png.....it helps us to help you if you also add a signature with VWs version and PC/Mac specs....

George K Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hi Vincent, Thanks the solution you are proposing creates an alcove, what i want to achieve is a wall opening with the wall finish (in this case 15mm Plaster) returning into the wall thickness. So a cheat is to create a cased opening where the thickness and material 'texture' of the jamb matches the wall finish (15mm plaster) However when viewed in elevation (hidden line) you can see the jamb line go round the door. My files were below 5mb. (it was a vw file with a wall and two doors) Quote Link to comment
George K Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 1 File attached. Quote Link to comment
George K Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 OK figured out what where i was going wrong. It was late and i had too many coffees! VW file attached with example. on the left the desired effect in elevation on the right the desired effect in plan. Many thanks Quote Link to comment
