Wall coverings from Wall Accessories

Anonymous

Guys, I just found out about adding cladding on the walls from Wall Accessories. However, when I add it I have to bypass the openings (doors and windows) because the cladding covers them as well. Is there a way to put cladding around the openings?

You must select your walls first before going to Design Extras > Wall Accessories to choose your cladding. (Standard AC downloadable Wall Accessories - if you are using Cadimage accessories, the menu command may be elsewhere.)

Then you'll see an eyeball in plan so that you can click on the side of the wall that the accessory is to be applied to.

is it possible to use cadimage wall coverings for complex wall profiles? it works fine with the wall tool, but i would like to be able to use it with complex profiles. my issue is that when i try to add to a complex wall it does not just pick a side. it has me trace, but then once added the windows located in the complex wall do not get cut out. Please help

I believe that that CI wall coverings uses the standard Graphisoft accessory plug-in, which does not recognize CP walls.

At least with the standard GS accessories, the add-on was written before CP walls were introduced and has never been updated - thus only working with conventional or composite walls.

CI support is really good, typically responding within a day, so you might want to ask them directly.
