    Default help creating an architectural feature in a wall

    I'm having an issue figuring out how to make a relief panel in a wall. its going to be double stud wall with dry wall each side. the relief is the depth of an entire stud. so from floor to 7' would be a single stud with dry wall both side then from 7' to deck will be double stud with dry wall each side

    i hope that is a clear description.

    How about this: Create your double-stud wall all the way up. Edit the profile of the wall and punch a hole in it where you want the recess. Then draw single-stud wall in that gap up to 7 feet. Would that work for your?

    You could also try :

    1. An in-place Void to cut a "niche". (see attached family.)
    2. A "frameless window family, that only cuts back 7" into the wall.( maybe a bit tricky?)
    3. A wall opening.

    cheers

    damon.sidel will this method clean the edges so the painted finish will show in the rendering?

    You would probably need to "paint" the edges/returns of the walls where they are exposed for rendering.

    Cliff may very well be right, but I don't know. Have you tried it, yet?
