Drawing curved corner in walls (little radios)

Anonymous

I am trying to draw a curved corner in a wall which radio is smaller than the wide of the wall. Is it that posible?

I was checking, and I think that is some kind of interference between the walls and the slabs. Do I have any quick solution besides redrawing the slabs. Just working on the skissers phase and don't have time to draw newly the slabs.

Could you post a screenshot of how that would have to look like in 2D? Draw it using lines or fills.

If you want a rounded corner on a wall you could either draw it as a polygon wall, split the end up in little bits of wall with smaller thickness so you can make the radius or put a custom column on the edge and stop the walls short of the corner.

If the radius is very small (like only on the plaster), I'd probably just show it in some 2D principal detail and leave my model straight.

Finally I found the fillet tool that solved my problem.

Can you show your results please?
I can't get a small chamfer to work unless the resulting chamfer is actually wider than the wall.
The chamfer works on the reference line of the wall and actually cuts the walls short and inserts a curved wall.

You could use the freeform wall in the corner. It does not work with self constructed layered wall types though, only the simple ones, aka one construction material types, because freeform wall is available for use with them only. Reference line are set visible in my example pic.

Sorry, but I haven't explains myself. The radios of the curved corner is bigger than the wall, i.e., wall wide, 300, radios 500. With that you can just use the fillet tool.
