Slanted Wall Reveals

Hi all,

 

It would seem like reveal depths for vertically aligned doors and windows in slanted walls was never fixed. For some reason I though this had been fixed in 24...

 

Standard INT libpack door and window:

What's not working.

For me in 28 the reveal works fine for vertical and slanted walls and the markers show on both as well.

The Symbolic representation of vertical doors and windows does not align with the Projected. Symbolic is offsetting from the cut face, so will vary depending on your FPCP.

Ahh, I get it.

The symbolic (vertical) window is always shown in relation to the cut part of the sloping wall, and not in its true position.

This is not correct as the window is not in that position.

Which is a problem if you want to show the symbolic plan view of a window (which I prefer).

I remember using a faux wall to host a door in a sloped wall back in AC19 for one project, but had thought it had been since fixed...

This was my suggested solution as well. Host the door in a separate wall with thickness and height of the door and place empty opening in the slanted wall.
