Walls on sloped floors

[David Haynes]

Is it possible to constrain a wall to a sloped floor.

Example:
- Wall (on top of slab) that is part of a parking garage (floor is sloped). If the wall moves, how does it stay bottom constrained to sloping floor.

Thanks

Yes, when you use the attach button, be sure to pick the base radio button before selecting the wall and floor.

Thanks, works great. It is always interesting how there are multiple uses for each option....you just learn something new every day.

would this also work on wall tops? I was wondering if i could attach a wall top to a reference plane, but i guess my answer might be that i could create a sloping roof and attach the wall top to that?

Is this the way to do it? Can you attach a wall to a reference plane?

Yes, you can attach the tops/ bottoms of walls to reference planes.

Select the wall you want to attach in an elevation/section view.
In the options bar you’ll see Top/Base: Attach Detach buttons.
Select Attach, now you’ll see Attach Wall: Top Base option in the options bar.
Select Top or Base and the select your reference plane.

By selecting Top means that the top of your wall will attach to the reference plane.
By selecting Base means the base of your wall will attach to the reference plane.

AND if you move or rotate the reference plane the wall will stay attached and move or slope with the reference plane...
