Trim a wall to fit between two roofs?

[Anonymous]

Hi!

I am working on a project in which I would love to be able to trim a wall between two roofs, bot at bottom and top, but I can't figure out how to do it.
Is it even possible?

highlight the wall and the two roofs and view them in the 3D window. highlight the wall and invoke Solid Element Operations. It will be the Target. Highlight the upper roof and make it the operator for a subtract with upward extrusion. Highlight the wall again and make it the target again. highlight the lower wall and do a subtract with downward extrusion.

hope that's clear.

Yes, it's possible.
You'll have to put your two roofs in a different layer and make the buttom roof a single plane roofs (if it's not already).

Here is how you can do it: video.

Thanks for catching that Stuart!

With this method it's necessary to use separate layers.

not necessary. there's a simpler way.

True, its's a simpler way.

My question:
I do it with two execute's, up and down, can it be done with one execute at once?

[Aaron Bourgoin]

it requires two steps as it's two separate operations.
