Archicad 17 - Complex profile wall

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:46:34 GMT

Hi.
I have made a wall as a complex profile.

I have walls I want to go through this complex profile without cutting it automatic.

How can I change this. I am trying to make a dormer attached to a complex profile wall.

I'm not sure what you mean by "without cutting it automatic."

Assuming you are looking for a way to cut the wall there are several options.

You can place an empty opening at the location to match the dormer.

You can split the profiled wall.

You can use solid ops, but the result will not show correctly in plan.

You can save the dormer as a window part so it makes its own opening in the wall.

Tx. I will give it a try.

What I meant was that the walls from the homemade dormer is beeing
cut byt the complex wall as you can see on the image, It is not going through the complex wall..

Try giving your dormer walls a stronger priority strength than the complex profile (roof?) wall.
You might need to turn off the setting to enable skin priorities.
Note this will not cut away the complex profile wall behind your dormer window - you will still need to create an opening for that as suggested by Matthew.
