Wrapping column with complex profile wall

[Anonymous]

Hello Friends,
Hope you are doing fine. I need a suggestion from u regarding 'complex profile'.
It's easy to wrap a wall with a composite wall. I just need to select the wrapping method in Column settings(See Fig -1).
But Column wrapping doesn't work in a complex profile (See Fig -2).
All the Best.

No images attached sorry.

No wrapping won't work in a complex profile wall due to their 'complex' nature.

In 23 you can now create a segmented column, so maybe you could match the segments to your complex profile?

v22 introduced complex columns with stretchable skins that work nicely as wrapped columns
Just create a parameters that allow offsetting of the core

The column can be used for any size column.. now we have custom profile modifiers


Then when you need to 'wrap' drag it to the wall edge


Then stretch the core out
Make sure the core has a higher priority than the wall. I have created a 'column cavity' building material here.

When setup correctly its pretty seamless. HTH
