INTERSECTING WALL AND CURTAIN WALL - HOW TO CUT AWAY??

Anonymous — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 08:58:46 GMT

Hey guys,

the facade of my building is made from a bunch triangles using the curtain wall tool.. they are all at different angles. I have drawn the walls inside and want the walls to fit within the shell nicely.. SO

Im trying to figure out the best way to cut out the excess wall area (shown in image)

Using the solid operation tool is a bit difficult cause it extrudes up and down and doesnt split any object from another one... any idea how to do this given that all the triangles are at different angles?

thank you!
Lexi

Does this work at all?
You have to select the wall and curtain wall at the same time.
I am not sure if you can select one wall and multiple curtain walls - you will have to try that.

I am not really sure as I rarely use curtain walls, let alone sloping ones.
I just know the command is there.

When I do it, using the settings you show, it then asks me which side of the wall I want to remove.
I am doing this in the 3D window.

Funny, I didn't notice it the first time I did it earlier either.
I must have just clicked not realising it was there.
I only noticed it just now trying again.

Glad it worked for you.
