Complex Profile

The block cores of the CMU show up in section at the window jamb (see attached image). If the wall skin closures are available in section as they do in plan, the cores would be hidden. So what is the solution so the cores are not showing beyond? Thanks.

Maybe you could draw a morph surface over the cmu so you won't see the cores.

Is there an 'empty' building material for the cores or is it just actual void? I've found it best to not draw profiles with holes in them, but to fill those holes up with empty fill materials. Holes really slow down performance and will show in these sort of instances.

Or you could do as suggested and model the side panels/trim (assuming they would be there).

Thanks. The cores are empty. I will try the morph.

Is it possible enabling casing?
