Furred Wall Connection

[ocamorlinga]

I have yet to figure out a clean and efficient way to draw exterior furred walls, so that cladding wraps around the furred wall properly and intersections look clean. This is the way I have figured out so far which looks the way I want it to, but it seems like an unnecessary amount of walls and construction lines are not clean,

 

Wall 1 (Core Outside): Cladding + WB + Sheathing + Stud 1 + Stud 2 + Gyp

Wall 2 (Core Outside): Stud 1 + Stud 2 + Gyp

Wall 3 (Outside Face): Cladding + WB + Sheathing

Wall 4 (Outside Face): Cladding + WB + Sheathing

Wall 5 (Core Outside): EIFS + WB + Sheathing + Stud 2 + Gyp

Building Material Intersection Priorities are set to the following:

EIFS - 480

Gyp - 300

Cladding - 250

Sheathing - 620

WB - 50

Stud - 615

Wall junction orders are set to 8, and the furred wall should be a single wall so that doors/windows cut through the entire wall. Does anyone have an idea for a cleaner solution?

Thanks!

Hello @ocamorlinga,

In this case, I am modeling a custom column* profiles and I change the classification of these columns to wall for proper ifc export.

*... and beam !

I see.. so the corners of the furred wall are columns and then you connect the rest of the wall to the end of the column? Do the materials join together properly this way?

Thanks for your reply

Probably the easiest way to do all of these more complex connections. You can select your current walls and copy paste it into the Profile Editor, then edit out the lines you don't need and reduce it to just the junction.

Hello,

Yes of course !

[ocamorlinga]

This solution works pretty well, thanks Christophe and Ling!

Remember to change the classifications and properties to that of the wall.
