Few questions...

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:33:12 GMT

HI all,

I'm studying just for 1 month. Currently I have some question which I'm unable to clarify. Please help!

1. I have a Wall which consists from triple walls (beacause of different materials) how to set the window/door trough all walls?

Thanks
Sorry for stupid questions, any related links will be appreciated.

Lushy:

One solution is to place the door/window you want in one wall then empty openings to match in the other two walls. These door+empty openings cannot be linked so they will have to be moved/edited separately when the door changes.

Complex wall profiles can be created with the Profile Manager for a single wall with multiple materials, which might be a better solution, and would use only a single door/window. If you post more information and a picture of what you are trying to accomplish, you probably will get other suggestions.

Here is the Image:

As you can see, there is a window that is connected with one wall

Lushy:

If this wall is straight up, then you can create it as a single wall using the Composite Structures option (in the Wall Tool > Floor Plan and Section > Structure > Cut Fill). You can create your own Composite Structure(s) with the Composite command. A single window will then cut through the various composites in this wall.

This is not exactly the thing that I want. However I've found that I can use the following tool:
Design>Complex Profiles>Merge Walls
So that's my walls are combined. However here is important to select just the walls for one axis.
Many thanks you for your effort!
Maybe you can help me with the following question:
2. Mesh. I would like to create a subsracted polygon that will have reverted angle. (please see the pic)
In other words - how to create the downhill to garage?

Thanks
