Wall Recess Edge Issue

[martinfdc]

Hi,

 

Can someone please explain me why can't one make a Wall Recess that goes from the start to the end of a wall? Are there other ways to obtain a wall recess that goes from edge to edge? I don't want to use a subtract solid...

 

Or maybe it's possible but I'm just not finding the way to do it.

I'm actually asking the question above because I want to solve a problem I have with the way a Wall Recess is being displayed in my ground floor. I've tried everything to remove that tiny bit left of wall but I can't remove it. The wall won't join with it's adjoining wall (the one that contains the door...)

Yes, that is something that VW Walls can't do.

Also all recesses, custom Wall End Caps, etc. at Wall Ends prevent from joining with other Walls.

 

I think in this case the proposed way is to model with Solids,

Create a Hybrid Object for proper 2D Plan appearance  and

manually assigning IFC Tags for BIM.

Thanks @zoomer, I ended up solving my problem another way though. I created the lower walls (15 cm) in the ground level layer and the 30 cm wall in the first floor layer and then I worked my way through with editing the bottom wall peaks of my walls in the first floor layer.

 

It's a pity that a wall recess can't join to another wall (at least in this case). The solution using a wall recess would be a much simpler one. Now I have 4 walls where there actually is only one wall that varies it width.

 

 

[zoomer]

Yes, that's a better way.

I didn't know that you have 2 Stories.

 

 

BTW,

Still not cut faces for stairs ?

I thought these would work now as it works for Slabs since VW 2017.

Yes I would love that my stair would be cut as my slabs. But from what I see it seems stairs still don't cut as slabs.

@JimWshould this be so?

Not that I'm aware of, most Custom Stair and I think all Stair objects don't Clip Cube properly even though they section more reasonably in Section Viewports.

This would be a good start, and then options for joining concrete to slab or not in the case of stairs with stringers. And option for where the stringer joined, top of slab or face of penetration.
