0 David S Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Seems to work for me. FWtO tool is brilliant but quite sensitive: if you ask it to do something illogical where eg there is a construction conflict sometimes it fails. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
0 CipesDesign Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hi Patrick, The only time I've seen Fit To fail is when the "fit to" geometry does not completely cover the Walls which are being fit. Can you post another shot showing the "fit to" geometry? Also, sometimes I have resorted to creating a dummy layer in which I place a 3d form (extrude, eg) which defines the "fit to" area. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Patrick Fritsch Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hey Peter thank you once again for putting me back on the right path, this is what I tested out and resolved my problem. The fit walls was not working properly as my gypsum ceiling plane extended to the interior face of the exterior walls only (as it would be built). But because my interior walls have T-joins to the exterior walls, their control point in plan view ends up at the center of the exterior walls. So to remedy, as you suggested, I simply duplicated the and offset temporary "dummy" geometry for the ceiling plane and ran the "fit walls to object" command again, all was resolved. @Jim Wilson this is odd behavior as every-time I have a sloped ceiling with wall joins i'd have to create temp "dummy geometry" due to the control point being offset outside the ceiling plane.

0 AlanW Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hi, Sometimes if you have used the fit to object command on a wall it may not take another go at it so i have to delete peaks and redo and all is well. HTH 1 Quote Link to comment
