Cylindrical Walls

[daviderel]

I'm new to ACA (acutally using MEP 2012) and can't seem to create a cylindrical wall. We do all water/wastewater work and cylinders a popular. I can create half of one and have tried mirroring it and copy/rotate 180, but then I can't get the two half to join into one continous wall.

Can anyone offer some assistance on how to accomplish this?

Create a circle with a polyline. Then select the wall style from the tool palette, right-click, and assign properties to linework.

Are you really creating walls, or something else?

Thanks cgraham - I forgot about that method. That produces what I got before though - two half circle walls. Not sure why it won't join them, but that may be the best I can do.

Yes, acutally making walls - these are for wet wells, clarifiers and other water/sewer basins.

Thanks!

One Wall can not go a full 360 degrees (it would be trying to clean up with itself). If the two half-circle Walls cleanup with each other, it should look like one Wall.

Would you be better off extruding a doughnut shape, and then converting that to a mass element?
