How to use Wall End tool in Complex Profile (wall)

Anonymous — Tue, 09 May 2023 13:51:18 GMT

Hello Friends,
I have made a complex profile (wall), but having a problem while I am trying to apply the 'wall end tool'. (See Fig-1)
It's not working. I am worried this tool doesn't work in Complex profile.
Can you guys help me with this issue?

Hello avishiplu,

I know it possible to do it with wall end tool but I use to create my own custom column complex.
Perhaps you should try to disconnect these two walls because wall end tool is made for single wall.

The most reliable way to generate a Wall End to a CP wall is to take the profile of your CP and create another CP wall that works as a wall end profile.

Hello Christophe
My Complex wall is made of 3 layers. I didn't get your idea on the column. I just need my complex wall will end smoothly. Right now the layer are exposed.
Can you please be more elaborative. Why do I need to disconnect walls, which is a part of the complex profile?

Sincerely
Avi

@avishiplu. The wall end tool works quite happily with Composite Profiles as they are typically rectangular and predictable. With Complex Profiles Archicad gives the flexibility to create shapes that in section can be random and broken into parts, so asking the wall end tool to determine what the user wants as an end cap is a bit of a tall order. I suggest you copy the contents of your wall complex profile to a new complex profile and then edit those shapes to create an end cap profile with the materials you want. In your model you can then use this new profile as an end cap by extending your wall with the new profile.

If your wall is symmetrical or flat on one side, you could try using a segmented column?
