Same Wall, Different Thickness?!?!

ArchiCAD_archi_archi — Thu, 10 Mar 2022 19:40:42 GMT

I have the same wall types in this model. Specified both of them with the same parameters in everything, same thickness, yet they are obviously, not the same thickness?! Very frustrating. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Hi, you have two options: 1) Either you pick up settings from the first wall and inject the other in order to match between them ( dropper and syringe tools ) and then reset the height or 2) You can adjust the working units to have more tolerance like 1.5 or 1.50 you may have small inches plus in the other wall, I hope it helps.

Thank you. I tried both, but unfortunately, both still did not change it. They are still appearing with different thicknesses.

I see that your Ref-lines are not lining up. That is not the problem, but if you get them to be on the same side of the wall, you might discover the problem. Is your wall being trimmed to a roof? If so, part of the face of the wall will be sliced off, making the thickness appear to be thinner, if the roof does not completely cover the whole wall it is trimming. If you changed the wall to a multi-composite material, you might see the problem right away as the core of the wall that is sliced will show in 3D.

I say all of this because I noticed that the taller wall does not have its face to the Reference line. There is a gap in the 3D window.

Good advice also.

Why don’t delete this short wall and extend or stretch the taller one to the desired length and then split the wall and adjust the height of the short part.

Yes it is probably being trimmed by the roof as I see that is what you are doing in another post you made.

When you select the first higher wall you can see the reference line is away from the front edge of the wall.

Your roof perimeter must be slightly over the width of that wall.

You can turn 'trimming bodies' on to see exactly what is being cut.

Or it is in the VIEW menu > On-screen view options > Trimming bodies.

Barry.

best way to check on this is to copy the walls away from the existing model and investigate there might several things causing this problem. you can also try creating again the walls itself. 😎
