wall endcaps / returns

[bbapties]

let me first apologize for all the dumb questions you will be seeing for the next couple of months while I dive in and learn ADT....

I am having a problem with my user-defined wall styles... when the wall does not have a wall to clean-up with the sheathing does not return all the way. Im assuming is has something to do with endcap style but I can't see what setting to adjust.

Thanks.

No need to apologize, life is a learning lesson. :)

First off, are you trying to deal with this in a 3d or 2d for cleaning up? There are a few things in here that need to be adjusted, just to be sure we are on the same page can you post an example using lines of what you want to have occur when the wall stands alone, when it meets another wall and how you want openings in the wall (ex. door) to handle the material return/wrap.

What you are looking at here is two things:
1. Wall Creation
2. Endcap (Endcap and Opening Endcap)

Once you post the requested info above, I will create a working example for you to reverse engineer (with instructions). :) Welcome to the ADT BIM world!!!!

I don't know how to post a link here, but if you look for a thread started by CADMAMA, entitled, "Rules for creating Endcap Styles", you will find directions for creating endcap styles. The example used is pretty specific to that situation, but the general idea works for all endcap styles.
