Wall End tool issue

Oleg

I have just found out, that an overhang part of a Wall End object does not trimmed to roofs.
May be it was discussed already.
Is it a bug and may be anybody knows any workaround to force it to be trimmed (excluding SEO).

Hello Oleg,
You need to select the "doors and windows" button to achieve this.
See attached image.

Hi Olivier,
I know the option you point me, but it does not help.
Wall End dont trimmed only if the roof polygon doesnot cover the wall completely. See picture in my the previous post.

Sorry Oleg, i red your first post too quickly.
Yes, you are right, there is a problem.
See the results i get.
Is it corrected in AC 9?

Curiously, it works better with curved walls.

There is a workaround.
Modify the wall to a curved one. Trim to roof. It works correctly.
Then modify the wall to a straight one. The cuting part remains OK.
Not very elegant, i agree.

Thank you for the trick
But unfortunately the workaround does not approach for me.
It was need for an API staff.
It was my fault as I had not studied all aspects of the wall end tool very detailed and one week of my work "sent to trash".
I have refused use it for while.

thanks again

Oleg, sorry that it doesn't help for your API development.
For interested users, here is an image of the workaround,
i hope more understandable than my garbage.
