Door cut through multiple walls

[Ed Jobe]

I'm modelling our office building and I found it difficult to model the many different conditions the architect created for the exterior walls. So I decided to use multiple parallel walls. Is there a way to get a door or window to cut through multiple walls that are beside each other? The only way I can think of is to place a door on one wall and then create openings in the other walls to look like the door cuts through them all.

Join the walls together....

I use this method quite a bit...

Nevermind......wrong forum....lol

I do it all the time. Add an interference condition to the wall (or walls) not containing the door and use the door as the object to interfere. Not a problem!

Excellent tip! Thanks.

Have you been able to edit the endcaps created by the opening of an interference? I have air spaces between the walls that I need to wrap with gwb.

The solution I came up with was to put the door/window in the wall that I need the gwb in. Then use the reposition within wall command to push the frame to the other side.
