Complex wall profile elongation proportionality

Michael
Contributor
Any way to maintain constants when stretching vertically such that the Complex wall profile elongation maintains its proportionality ?

See screen Shot

not the discrepancy as the wall gets taller both the runner/channel and distance to gypsum board.

Would prefer to use one stand wall type than five for the same assembly.

In your complex profile you can set the position of the vertical stretch.
When it is turned on (just like a layer it can be on or off) you will see two horizontal lines.
Position these to the bottom portion of your wall so it does not include the top reduced width portion.
So now the wall will get taller but the top section will always remain the same size.

Remember a complex profile can be stretched taller but not shorter than actual profile itself.
So always make the shortest profile you need.

Thank you Barry !

I do not know why I did not try the positioning below the head, but that's definitely what I needed to make the hundreds of details work !
