Guest Wes Gardner Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I got an error when trying to choose your wall file?? Quote Link to comment
Andrew Mac Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 I was able to figure it out but thank you Quote Link to comment
Andrew Mac Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hi Wes, I thought I had figured out but was unable to do. I am including the file of the profile for the wall wall profile.vwx Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 @Mac B DesignsHi, you could use aec/wall recess. But there is still the issue of the recess not extending to the end of the wall and you get this line. Maybe others can have a better way to do this. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 This is a case for use of the Reshape tool to add Wall Peaks to make the cutouts Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Pat, I tried this and you can reshape above the base plan of the wall but i could not find a way to drag the top beyond the end of the wall. Hopefully someone can show me how. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Start with a wall as long as needed for the farthest points and then reshape both the top and bottom back. If you start off with it too short, go to a plan or elevation view and use the selection tool to extend the wall and then reshape. Does that make sense? 1 Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Pat. Uh doh. nothing like a bit of lateral thinking lol. forgot to take my meds. Edited March 1, 2017 by Alan Woodwell Quote Link to comment
cberg Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) I find reshaping walls somewhat cumbersome and difficult to dimensionally control. For a different approach, I might make three planes that represent your bounding objects. Put the planes that represent the upper boundary of the wall on one layer. Put the lower plane on a separate layer. Then under the AEC menu pull down, select "Fit Walls to Objects" Constrain the tops to the first layer, and constrain the bottoms to the second layer What is nice is that if you can always delete these constraints by Deleting Roof Peaks. If anything in the model changes, such as your roof pitch, you can repeat the process. You can also use roof faces, generic solids, or any other type of 3d object in lieu of planes.

AlanW Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 @cbergI like the thinking also, all these different approaches adds to our library of knowledge. I like sometimes when the fit walls to object fits to above or below. Just move it left or right and the wall adjusts. more ideas the better. thanks Quote Link to comment
