is it possible to work on walls in plan and elevation?

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 11:10:37 GMT

i want to make a ramp (i used the complex profile from the design tab) to do that and i did it using the wall but the problem came up when i was trying to design the ramp in plan.
i attached pictures to make my point more clear ,,,, the first picture is showing how i want the ramp to look in plan but i cant manage to do it (whats in the picture is the walls elevation not plan) i want that shape in plan, is it possible to make it?

To create that Wall shape in plan use the Polygonal Wall geometry method.

To create the side contour for the Wall follow the instructions in this article:

Hi Reem_92,
It is not to clear wether your objective is to

1. Create a WALL that is shaped like a ramp -
for which you can use laszlonagy's tip
(cutting off the top of the wall with a Solid Element Operation)

or perhaps...

2. Looking to create a RAMP of this shape, and happened to use a wall
with a custom profile?
My tip for this case would be to use the mesh tool.
Give it time and read up on it - it is a VERY powerfull tool!

🙂
