Wall Caps


BG

Recommended Posts

Hi. This might be user-error, but when you have floor plan using walls with components - say a typical timber wall with plasterboard lining each side, when you turn the class off for the lining, the wall cap disappears on the ends of walls and at openings.

Is there a way to keep the wall caps turned on?

Thanks

Thanks

Under the wall attributes there are two options.

1. Use Wall Line Attributes

2. Use Component Line Attributes

My wall styles had option 1 selected.

I changed this to option 2 and the wall caps appeared so that's good.

With option 1. When you have a wall made up of various components, what 'wall line' would this be referring to?

With option 2, which component does VW use to cap the wall? The core component?

In the situation you describe, the plasterboard wall lining has been returned across the end of the framing, so when you turn the linings class off, the wall cap disappears.

If you want the wall cap to remain visible, you could draw it separately (don't use the wall cap tool) and give it a class other than Wall Lining.
