problem with wall cornace corner details (complex profiles)

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 11:03:56 GMT

I have an old concrete eve on the outside wall that i wanted to recreate.
designed it up using profile editor and saved it as a beam.

Brought the beam around to where i wanted the eve.

It works almost perfect.
only 2 little problems. actually 3?

1. in the photo (point 1) my profile will not curv into a very small corner, the real thing does.
2. in the photo (point2) on plan the profile is interecting itself, in 3d it looks fine but on plan, i dont have this nice 45 degree interesection line i like.
3. on plan my eve shows up without any line at the ends, only the normal outline black lines for the lenght but not the ends ?

any help on these 3 points would be super.
thanks.
Ian

Hi,

You have to put that profile in a layer with a different Intersection Group Number, then it won't intersect with the wall.

Alternatively, you can create your profile with the REFERENCE LINE on the OUTSIDE Face... and offset from walls...

I didn't say it was a better solution, just different!

thanks guys, changing the layer number didnt really help but i changed the inside line postion of the element, repositioned it and it looks really great, plus it hugs around the tight top corner i mentioned.

one little thing, now in 3d view it looks perfect but on plan, i cant see all the parts ? is there some button i can click to show hidden ??
I have all the layers turned on.

Thanks.
Ian
