    Default double curved wall

    I have a problem modeling a building. As shown in the picture I want the interior walls to join to the exterior wall (which is a curved wall). Any ideas?(like trimming the interior walls)

    There is not an easy one-click solution. You will need to edit profile of the wall. To make this easier, join the wall to your exterior geometry. This will form a line of intersection. Next, draw model lines by picking the line of intersection. I don't know if this step is necessary or not. You may need to unjoin geometry and then edit profile of the wall. I say that step may be uneccessary, because now that you have edited the profile, you may want to see if you can join the walls again.

    It could be created with a model in place void by revolution, using the same curve that was used to create that form, and then using Cut Geometry to cut the void from the wall. But... for any change in the form, you will have to edit the shapes again, cut geometry again, etc., very time consuming. It is always better to spend that time finding a way to control forms by parameters. Therefore, the proposed solution is to make a family, as shown in this illustration. The form is created by selecting the 3 sets of green reference lines and arcs shown in the first image. Then the family is loaded into a project, and then the walls are created with the Walls by Face tool. Now, if you need to change the form of the wall, you just change the parameters of the family, and then update the walls with Update to Face.
