Drafting a room with multiple wall thicknesses in 3D

[John Whyte]

Im drafting the room below in 3D the room has multiple wall thicknesses, i know i can draft the walls using the Wall tool in the "building shell" tool set, and set wall thicknesses.

But what about where there are multiple thicknesses like in the bottom of the left wall, i know i can draw another rectangle set it to the same hight as the wall and then use "add solids" but then it loses the wall functionality (being able to insert doors, windows etc.

Have you tried the wall sculpting tools...

Also have a look at Create Wall Projection and Create Wall Recess topics in Help

Why not just draw several walls with varying thicknesses end to end? You can join walls end to end with the Wall join tool in L mode.

I also always go for this solution, you can't go any better at the moment, without breaking other things like floors and spaces that need to bound to your walls. And if you have a situation that really doesn't work with this, just draw your walls as one and use hybrid symbols to modify it.
