Tobias Kern Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) hi, in vw you can only join walls to a roof (solid or layered) which are in the same direction of the gabel. crossed walls join only with the midpoint of the wall to the roof. this should be fixed. with vw we can create more points in a wall but only parallel, in the other direction it should also be possible to add points for the highest ans lowest height. thnx and cheers Edited July 20, 2014 by johnnygitarr Quote Link to comment
0 scheven_architect Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Second this: More versatility, flexibility in general in with walls, because let's be honest, walls make up 50% of a building. Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted July 21, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted July 21, 2014 These functions should all be possible in Vectorworks 2014. What version are you currently using? 1) I just tested the first question directly and did not find the direction to have any limitation on what the walls would fit to. 2) I placed a few configurations of walls in X joins and they fit to roof/geometry completely, not just along their midpoints. 3) Do you mean wall peaks only being create-able along the top of the wall? In current versions it is possible to add peaks to the bottom as well, unless I misunderstand the question. (It is a good idea to put your computers basic info and Vectorworks version in your signature to avoid this in the future.) Quote Link to comment

0 VincentCuclair Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I think he means the top of the wall should join the roof/object across the width of the wall so basically not peaks but sloping sideways......has been wished for on several previous occassions. Quote Link to comment

For the third portion? Got it, I'll add this thread to those. I'll wait to hear on the other two. Quote Link to comment

Question
Tobias Kern
hi,
in vw you can only join walls to a roof (solid or layered) which are in the
same direction of the gabel.
crossed walls join only with the midpoint of the wall to the roof.
this should be fixed.
with vw we can create more points in a wall but only parallel,
in the other direction it should also be possible to add points for
the highest ans lowest height.
thnx and cheers
