Composite wall not showing properly in 3D

rm
Expert
Hi everyone -

Something going on here in 3D views using AC 22 that I just cant seem to correct. In the attached image, I have circled the end wall condition of a composite wall that is showing the skins. I want it to be shown as a solid surface with no skins showing through, as it should display.

I have also attached the screen shot of the makeup of the composite wall. Do any of you see something I am doing wrong here or is this a shortcoming in AC 22 to properly display composite walls in 3D. Im guessing I am doing something wrong here.

Thank you!

I'm confused now.
The surface overrides have no effect in plan.
Surface overrides only affect what you see in 3D and elevation.

"You will NOT", hence the down side of using a surface overwrite. By the looks of the composite, it has been layered as it would be built so the OP is probably wanting to show the layers in plan.

I am not sure what you are trying to say.
Surface overrides have no effect on the plan representation.

I get it,
You are saying the skins will not wrap in plan at the end - which they won't.
I thought you were implying that it would affect how the wall skins trimmed for connecting walls.
Sorry just back from holidays and I'm still getting into it.

The original post was about the 3D representation, so I assume Robert is happy with the 2D plan.

To wrap the end in plan then he will need the wall end tool mentioned before.
