Walls Join to line or polygon.

[Tom Klaber]

It would be REALLY helpful if the wall join could be use to resolve walls into lines and polygons.

Many times we will have columns represented as rectangles or polygons. Walls will die into these. It is fine if everything is parallel, but if a wall comes in at an off angle, then there is no way to cap the wall at an angle against the column. You can wrap the column in walls, but it would be great if the join wall tool could simply resolve the wall cap against a polygon.

....... It is fine if everything is parallel, but if a wall comes in at an off angle, then there is no way to cap the wall at an angle against the column.......

Don't want to diminish the wish but:

1: Walls can be split at any angle using the Split Tool.

2: Odd shaped columns can be create by using the Create column from object command AEC>Pillar command. Walls can be joined to these columns using the Wall join tool.

That was new to me.

So I can draw a Rectangle (or Extrude only ?) and convert to a Column ?

Without having the doubled geometry of a normal Column Tool Column ?

(Structural + Architectural Part, even not assigned)

With IFC Tag for Column ?

Joining Walls without destroying the Column Geometry ?

(Like when you use Walls for Column)

Fill in Spaces in Wall Mode without flooding through the Columns ?

Sorry I meant AEC>Pillar command......

That is new to me too.

I am running a test now and it seems to work exactly as you want it to.

You can create a pillar from a polygon. It maintains it's 2d properties. Walls can be joined, and at least with unstyled walls behave as expected, breaking the polygon outline and connecting to the wall outline.

Spaces can be filled into the resulting closed area.

This solves almost everything.

Pity.

But the Pillar idea is not bad though ...
