Works here. Could the walls be intersecting another wall on a hidden layer?

Greetings, David

It works with a generic wall, it does not work with a free ending of a composite wall.
A 2x4 with 5/8 gwb composite wall, when placed in 2D, does not show the gwb "wrapping" around the free end; in 3D shows the 2x4 wood core.

The wall end lines option does not wrap skins around the end of the wall - it simply turns a line on or off at the end.

To wrap skins you need to use the 'Wall End' tool.

Similar issue, old thread.

I don't know how to change the wall end lines...!

In Wall Selection Settings > Wall End Lines, the line appears randomly as a thick red line.

 

  • My wall is a Profile Wall (not a Composite, where you can set the wall end line pen)
  • I would prefer to use the the Wall End Tool to wrap the skin, but Wall End Tool won't recognize a Profile wall, based on my experiments
  • So now I just want to change the red end-line pen to black

Any help please?

When you select a fill in the profile editor, you can control the cut end line.
