Brick Pier - How to model?

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone!

Running into some clean-up issues with a brick pier I am trying to model.
I've attached the detail I am trying to model.

I tried putting the reference line of my walls on the outside face with different complex profiles but things are cleaning up as in the detail. Can anyone give me some pointers?

Thanks in advance.

I'd try making it with a complex profile column. It would sit on top of the normal wall. I'd make it so the air space / gap (unsure how to put this in english!) overlaps and it should hopefully clean up nicely with material priority based connection of archicad 18 and onwards.

Good luck!

Or draw the column profile separately into the wall: video

Thanks, I got it to work. Sorry for such a long delay for a response but been crazy busy with deadlines. Cheers!
