Walls ending in an angle

maurotrotta — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 09:45:46 GMT

I am trying to do something that seems basic, but can´t find the way to do it. I have a wall, and I need the end of the wall to be trim in an angle. I have tried trim, opening tool, end of wall tool, boolean substraction, searching in the forum, and none of them do what I need. What am I missing?

Operating system used: Windows

Actually it looks like it is trimming properly.

The outer line on the right, is that part of the wall.

If so it may just be building material strengths Maybe try Display Options and send the wall backwards?

Make the main wall skin weaker than the other element's building materials.

Maybe try Display Options and send the wall backwards?

But this won't work if it is a building material strength problem.

Or if that is in plan, model a second wall in the opposite angle.

Place in layer that is hidden but still interacts with the main wall layer.

It is more work but should work.

Barry.

Hey @maurotrotta

You can change the geometric option of the wall to polygonal (even if it's a straight wall) and it will allow you to straighten the end of your wall

That was simple. Thanks!

I have to do the same with the top of the wall, which is a custom profile, but I don´t have the polygonal option available. Do you know how to do in this case?

That wall you have shown indicates it is a complex profile.

Sadly the Geometry method is only available if the wall is basic. It is not available if the wall is a composite, or if its a complex profile.

You will have to recreate your custom profile with each separate layer.

Meaning that if it's a 5 layers profile, you will need 5 different wall...

At that point it's better to link your complex wall with the one next to it (see image)

In the toolbox, under more there is also a wall-end tool that you can use.

The thing is, the chamfer ending disappears if the wall is not cut. I have a wall that is under the floor plan cut plane but is still visible, and when i raise its height above the floor plan cut plane, the chamfer ending shows up. But when it's under the floor plan cut plane, only the straight edge of the wall shows up. It seems that I will also need to go with the geometric wall. Luckily, it's not a composite.
