reveals / profile walls

Anonymous — Sat, 02 Jun 2007 14:46:37 GMT

Hi all,

i have a little question.
When i use the profile manager to create walls, the reveal gets only one material. (see attachment). Is there something to do about this, besides redrawing the entire model or using Photoshop????
Please don't tell me that i should never use the profile manager to draw walls when i'm going to use the model for visualisations.......

never use the profile manager for walls when you're going to see an end or edge of the profile.

simple fact of the matter: complex profiles aren't. they're just dumb extrusions.

sorry 'bout that

Or make a wall opening that returns the brick coursing (and terminates the water table/belt course) the way you want. Getting the outside edges to clean up might require a little editing though.

Yes it would be nice if sections/penetrations/SEOs showed the actual fills of the profile. Seems as though it shouldn't be too hard. I can't recall if it's already on the list or not.

is this something that in release 11 still is a problem??
I thought that it wouldn't be so difficult to make the edges correct...but who am i??

thanks for the advice...
