alfresco Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I am working on a residential project with 3 stories. Walls and slabs are bound as expected. I however have a garage that sits between the first floor and the second floor. I am having troubles with the elevations for the garage. The garage walls are unpredictable and I cannot achieve an 8 foot wall. I seem to have the wall either bound to a fist floor of second floor and corresponding stories. I have tried a number of things such as creating additional design layers etc. Any suggestions? thanks, lm Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I would create some extra custom Story Levels and a special Wall Style duplicate for the garage walls. 1 Quote Link to comment
alfresco Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Thanks. I have played around with an additional Garage Story with corresponding design layers and levels. However, I still can not seem to resolve the problem.I think that it should be straight forward? Thanks, lm Quote Link to comment
E|FA Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I believe you can't have a story that is between other stories - that is, they have to stack. What I did in a similar situation is choose the story that was most applicable for the garage, and then adjust the Z-offset of the slab, and use AEC->Fit Walls to Objects... for the walls. When things change (and they always do), I have to go through and adjust. Quote Link to comment
alfresco Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 OK! thanks. I will play around a little more.... Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Yes, I meant creating extra Story Levels for Garage Wall binding, but using the these on standard Stories of the house. Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 @alfresco Attached is a file with two buildings with different heights. I've also included a draft explanation. If you go to Tools > Organization > Stories > Default Story Levels you'll see the set up involved. Notice how I've divided the levels between the two buildings. It DOES take a bit to get your head around it! Wes Two Buildings One File.vwx Multiple Buildings One Site final.docx Quote Link to comment
