trimming to roof difficult problem

Gus — Tue, 23 May 2023 12:55:14 GMT

I have two somewhat overlapping roofs. When I trim the walls below to these roofs some trim to the correct place and some trim to the roof that I don't want them to trim to. Is there a way that I can select which roof I would like the wall to trim to and which roofs I don't want it to trim to?

Try using Solid Element Operations. It gives you more control over what trims what and when you move the trimming object, then the cut object updates automatically. See ArchiCAD help for more details.

Hi Gus,

Select the wall and the roof you want to trim to, then right click (somewhere outside your model) and choose "trim to roof".

Hope that helps,
