The solution is to place slabs at the needed height to SEO the walls.

These slabs will be in a layers named X-SEOs that will be off in all of your layer sets.

Hi, I noticed that most of those extended up walls didn’t have a roof over them.

 

One way you could do this, is to split the wall on the plan. Use the split tool (Axe symbol) and make cuts at both ends of the wall where you want the wall height to be reduced.

 

Search online “ARCHICAD how to split a wall” see what you can find ?

 


(Next you may have to place a box gutter where your butterfly roofs almost meet in order to cover you wall top. Then also other walls will need capping on top of them, if no roof is over the top of them.)

Hi FP, you maybe able to go to the Graphisoft learning portal and do some free introductory courses to learn how to use Archicad. You would need to use your GS ID and enrol in the free courses to learn how to model elements like walls etc in AC.

Or simply adjust the height of the wall manually to the bottom of the slab.

AC 28 INT 3110/WIN 11

Looks like the wall needs to be higher based on the roof slope so lowering might create a hole.

Hi, here is the awesome training video that helped me on how to split a wall in 3D and it can also be done in 2D. It goes back to AC16 but still relevant today.
