i cannot use the wall end tool - what is the syntax for using it?

proto — Wed, 29 Sep 2021 18:04:32 GMT

for the life of me, I cannot use the wall end tool

i just want to cap the end of a simple drywall partition [3.5" stud + 1/2" drywall both sides]

what is the correct way to use this tool?

the cursor doesn't seem to react to the end of the wall at all

To add to this, I want to shape the wall as its bottom edge wants to follow the bottom edge of the stair as it rises. Hopefully, SEO operation doesn't affect the wall end cap condition...

i see the vid now, thank you for posting

i'm not able to replicate that

i have tried on several walls placed out into space to isolate them. i've messed with the settings.

it's as if there's a persistent setting that is preventing this operation

Have you been able to do a wall lock before? Try my option exclusively, there are a minimum of parameters.

I ended up writing a wall covering for a framing sheet rock sheeting and baseboard so that I don't have to fight those I have more freedom with my models and so I can wrap wall ends lol

Posts also work well other than not being linked to the wall for wall ends

sorry, i do not understand this

You need to click exactly on the outside corners or the end of the base / reference line for the wall end to work.

You cannot add a wall end to a wall on a locked layer.

I know this doesn't apply in your case, but for the benefit of others, you cannot add a wall end to a COMPLEX profile.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to help you, I haven't come across this problem yet, are you sure you are trying to attach the end wall to the corner of your partition?

@DGSketcher & @Qualifa

I was not clicking on the exact outside corner of the wall. I am now able to use the tool.

I am only able to select one response as a Solution, but I do want to thank you both for your input.

Glad we found your problem, I would only need your likes for a response that more closely matches your solution.

However, I would advise you to pay a little more attention to the video, as it often shows the whole process of the various projected solutions from the authors.
