0 Matt Overton Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I assume applying a top cap would make the wall appear soild in Top/Plan view. Quote Link to comment
0 Tom W. Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 There are all sorts of issues with the ways you manipulate wall components - or rather the ways you can't manipulate them - but it's on the Roadmap... 1 Quote Link to comment
0 hollister design Studio Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 This would be helpful in Landmark too. The wall tool is wonderful/horrible for landscape walls! 2 Quote Link to comment
0 Matt Overton Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Is certainly landscape and outdoor areas I hit a need for this most often. Trying to get a wall accurate enough for elevations and sections while not making plan view confusing. 1 Quote Link to comment

This feature would be awesome for half-walls. What I usually do is change the wall style to generic with no components so it shows as solid in plan, but that's not ideal because it then shows incorrectly in section. The other workaround I've tried is drawing a rectangle over it in annotation, also not great. The best solution I've seen is to just extrude a solid cap on the wall, but that cap won't adjust with wall revisions. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Tom W. Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Another option is to use a slab to cap a freestanding half-wall. The slabs have no fill in the Top/Plan view hence you can see the wall components but would look solid if given a fill. The simplest option is to just have a single wall + place a slab on top but it will only be manual. If you want the slab + wall to be auto bounded you can have a wall that consists - in this case - of just the sand/cement render + plaster + no blockwork. But then the wall is hollow. So in last version I added an internal wall for the blockwork but this isn't bounded. But because everything is using components it will all show up in reports if that's a factor. But be much much better to just be able to quickly add/remove components to walls like you can already with slabs. 1 Quote Link to comment

Use cases are parapets & solid railings It would be great to have this; also to control bottom (and ends?) of walls the same way. Wrapping components as with Wall closure at inserts perhaps? May be there are all wall closures: at inserts (Top-Bottom-Sides), at top-bottom and at ends. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Popular Post ericjhberg Posted August 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2023 Reboosting this request. In the landscape world...if the wall tool is our go-to, we almost exclusively have to determine the top of wall condition. The ideal scenario would be to integrate that feature with the wall itself, eliminating the need for a redundant slab/hardscape/extrude, etc. to perform the top function. Additionally, integrating footing options into the walls would be a tremendous step forward too. 12 Quote Link to comment
