Wall Corner Condition

[tonyisenhoff]

Any suggestions on how to create a wall condition like the attached image?

If you use your main wall, concrete with finish, then use rectangular column families(arch), and place them at the corner as you show, they will join with the walls and give you that look,

I tried that, and it appears to work. My only complaint is that I can't push/pull the column size dynamically. I have to edit, duplicate, bla, bla bla. for all the different shapes & sizes. This can be very time consuming and I will end up with a ton of different types.

Why can't I simple create an in-place family (Architectural Column) and get the same results? When I do this, I the column only seems to join with the exterior layer of the wall. See attached.

Just make the length and width parameter of your column familiy an instance parameter. Then can you can stretch it.

Hmmm - thought I tried that, but I'll try again :)

You are correct - that works!


Thanks for a second set of eyes...
