Linestyle of a wall - non-uniform outline of a connected wall

[Grzegorz Krzemien]

Hello,

I have a simple problem. I want to connect two walls with the same component (all attributes are connected with a class) to create one wall with various thickness.

As you can see in the picture VW recognises ends correctly, but uses two different line styles - for the outer and inner face as defined in the class and for the endings much thinner.

Any hints?

you can create a Pillar... for the end of the wall and then use the wall join tool to join the walls to the pillar.

Thanks, but it is rather work-around. In the Info Palette there is an options but it is greyed "Copy linestyle from..." and it is set to "Wall line". Is it possible to change this setting?

With the sad state of our actual wall tool, the work-around that @Jonathan Pickup suggested  is a good alternative...

@GRZEGORZ you need to edit the wall style + set the pen thickness in the wall attributes to 0.35:

 

On the subject of the Pillar command depending on what exactly you're doing it may be advantageous to use the Create Wall Projection command instead. A Pillar is a separate object whereas a Feature In Wall object is part of the wall geometry. But neither method is wholly satisfactory

@Tom W. Yes, that is exactly what I am looking for! Thanks, I can not believe I missed that.

No problem glad I could help 👍
