View Full Version : wrapping wall finish at wall profile edits

I have created a wall with a series of arched openings cut into it with the edit profile tool. The wall is brick and I would like the brick to wrap the sides of each of the openings. Fiddling with the wrap at end/wrap at insert boxes does not wrap each individual opening, it will only wrap at each end of the entire wall. Help?

Welcome to the forums Brandon.
Wall wraps will only work if the 'opening' is a door or window family placed in the wall, and that family needs to have a ref plane defined as a wall closure. A sketched opening is not considered an 'insert'.
So you have a couple of choices;
1 - create the opening as a door or window family that has nothing in it but the void cutting the desired shape or
2 - use the paint tool and just apply the surface pattern to the wall faces that don't have them.

Option 1 will require that you filter the door or window schedule to make sure you don't get extras for the openings.
