Changing the Shape of the End of a Wall

[ron.sanpedro]

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.

Hmmm... seems the orignal post was edited....

1. Q was how to rotate walls
2. Q was about changing imports to links
3. About a consultants Cad file
4. Chamfering the end of a wall

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.
