Trimming wall

Karol Lozinski — Wed, 24 May 2023 06:25:18 GMT

Hey, I've got this issue. It may seem trivial but I can't find a way around it. So I've got this organical morph and I want to cut / trim my walls to it but in a way it does not leave a mark. So there no "ghost - wall". Is there any other way than creating a morph out of this wall?

Karol, I don't know if I understood you well. You want to trim just part of wall or what? If so, it is easy, just split your wall on two parts: first one needs to be splitted, and rest without edits.

If this is not answer you need, please be more precise in your question.

Even after SEO, an element will still try to heal with other elements using building materials (unfortunately). You will need to either give it a different building material with a lower intersection priority or put it on a layer with a different intersection priority number.

Yes! Setting different layer intersection priority did help! Thank you both soo much for such quick help! But as soon as I got rid of one issue another one came up. Again, something is wrong with morph. Thing is - I can't unlock it for a reason. The morph is made in grasshopper. I want to unlock it so I'll be able to use it as an operator, and a slab underneath that block as a target to "Subtract with upper extrusion", so the morph will disappear from the inside, and it'll be only on the outside. I can't do that though as long as the thing is locked. I checked layer and it's unlocked, I also tried to unlock it through edit -> unlock, but it seems that I can do that endlessly with no effect. It's still locked. I also tried to "Unlock all". It thought a while and still left me with locked morph. Grasshopper connection is turned off. Any ideas?
