Variable thickness wall

[zeno]

Specifically in Italy and in rest of Europe is a very import issue to have thickness wall control.

 

Every architect that comes from 2D draw and need to improvement the workflow switching to BIM ask us: "how can I create a variable thickness wall?".

 

How about add this improvement to next vectorworks versions?

 

Thanks

Is this what you are trying to do?

Not precisely. 

What we need is to manage the entire wall in creation phase. F.e creating a 3D model, free 3D model, convert it in a Wall, and add windows door etcetera. Or to set a different thickness from start to end. I know the projection command but you can't add a window and have a hole automatically

As far as I know the Window should go through.

The only problem I have with these Wall adaption options is at the ends of Walls and Joining.

Please zoomer show me the light beacause I'll be happy if I'm wrong :-D

I just tried.

It seems to fail if you insert the Window from the wrong side (the feature side)

as it selects the feature and hides the Wall from Window insertion.

I rotated the View and could pick the Wall in the feature area, Window inserted

into Wall and goes through as it should.

 

But man works insertion slow ....
