Custom Wall Profile/SEO Problem

[Dwight]

In this custom wall profile - vaulted roof with walls, I've trimmed a short segment with SEO slabs into tapered segments for multiplying in an arc.

When assembled, the pieces won't go - there's some kind of SEO trim conflict where little tapered triangles are cut into what should be solid material.

See attached.

Even individually assigning the SEO does not fix it.

Are they on different layers with different intersection priority numbers? Can you post a module of them?

Can you please put your machine specs and archicad version number in your signature so we can help you with this problem.

Hello Dwight,
I see what you mean. Strange since the cut does not appear
in the first segment that is not joined to the others.

I almost posted you earlier about whether you had
attempted a shape like the one you show because
I was doing a similar shape with profiled walls.
What I was doing was, using a half barrel vault shape, making
a curved path similar to yours, utilizing the mitering behavior of walls.

Instead of making the wedge shapes using SEO, have you tried
making a short straight segment, then radially multiplying it in such a way
that they touch at the inner curve and making them miter at the
outside edge like any wall does ?

Yes, it is obvious that the assembly causes the anomaly. The overlapping SEO's - but how?

Of course, I could use the multiple short segment technique, but that is a lot of wasted polygons. Don't want to cause a parrot shortage. (Polly gone.)

I think it's your profile. Far too many nodes (apparently). Maybe try putting just a single curve in the profile, instead of all those points. AC still struggles, but not as much.

Hello Dwight,
I tried what I had suggested but that caused a horizontal chunk to be
cut out of the wall segments. This was due to the wall reference line
being at the center rather than at the outer edge.
Something I could not change.

I do not know why this is happening but I notice that those
weird cuts stop at the reference line.
Could you try changing the reference line to one edge or the other,
maybe the outer edge, and see what happens ?

Just a shot in the dark.

Peter's right, the walls are trying to heal with each other, which is certainly not helping. If you put each wall on a layer with it's own priority number, the situation is suddenly much easier.
