You can also make it thick and cut it with a Roof with SEO.
Of course in this case it will be that thick on the Floor Plan.

Cheers.
I know there was a Laz Nagy in Australia a couple of years ago, maybe he is still there. Was this 'Cheers' meant to him?

(2) battered wall works for one side only.

canted wall works in both sides. Place the object on the desired wall, and hide that wall's layer.

Unfortunately all of these are palliative solutions for a old problem. Try placing a window in that wall (1) and it will be cut as well. Placing those objects (2) on the wall give us only a empty hole for that window.

Just to to get it worse try intersecting another wall to those sets...
Using roofs won't work well either for this same reason.

GS should give us a real option for that. Maybe an angle option in the Wall Selection Settings.

While I completely agree with you that a wall SHOULD have independently tilting faces, and should represent properly in plan view, I use an interesting compromise that takes about as much time to execute as writing a forum complaint does, once you know how to do it.

I've been using a technique for a long time where two roof planes exactly as high as a wall, trimming that wall in SEO are used to build a module. I make the wall have some tone to show its overall thickness and if I need to designate the top of the wall, the ends of the two roof planes do it, or I add a flat wall at the top to fill this gap, altho a simple fill would do as well.

I treat it like a stretchy library element. Once placed, the preset module's Link is broken (as he must be, resting solidly, as he is, in the yoke of marriage, by now) and the wall stretched to length. This broken link module can be placed against dragged copies of itself, retaining all wall joining features.

If you are really clever, to make editing the opposing wall faces easy, you'll create separate SEO layers for the opposing roofs, incorporating the layers into your template, but in my experience, making a range of likely modules from the first setup is the fastest way.

For more flexibility, this trick could be applied to any wall set by making a module from companion roof planes alone. A cutter assembly.

I admit that this gets over complex with curved walls.

Dwight,

sorry, I didn't make myself clear:

by saying "Using roofs won't work well either..." I meant using roofs pretended to be walls.

I aware of this technic you just describe. My point is that any of those are (1) not efficient or (2) to complex for just move the dam wall
