trimming a wall

Anonymous

Hello. I am trying to trim a wall using a line. The line is curved, but when I try to trim the wall that intersects it I cut a rectangular piece and the edge of the trimmed wall does not follow the curvature of the wall. Is there any way to correct this?

When trimming a Wall, the program takes the intersection line of the arc and the Wall Reference Line and that is where it splits the Wall.
But the Wall pieces remain Straight Wall the end line of which always remain perpendicular to the Wall's Reference Line.

You should use a Polygonal Wall method to create that sloped Wall end piece.

Or use a 'solid element operator' wall on a hidden layer with an intersection priority number of 999 (as you discovered in another post!)

Cheers,

This SEO will not show in the plan view, just the model, so depends on where the cut needs to be seen.

I need it to show in the plan view. I used the Polygonal Wall method and it suits me . Thank you.
