    Default Changing the Shape of the End of a Wall

    End of wall not perpendicular. Is there an easy way to take the end of a free floating wall and cut it at 45 degrees or such? You know, Wrightian walls on hexagonal grids?

    Thanks,
    Gordon

    1. See the attached pdf - and watch for any callouts when rotating sections as they dont like it so much.
    2. (think you have to re-import)
    3. We never explode dwgs in our file - very messy with line styles and object styles. Often we will just link it in and use it as a reference for coordination.
    4. It is possible but very tricky and you wouldnt wanna do a lot of them. I've attached a pdf on this too.

    To cut your wall on a 45 deg use the "Edit Cut Profile" command.

    A wall based family that uses a void will work pretty well.

    I like columns as they will take on the finish layers of the wall, so make a series of arch. columns with the shapes you want.
