Adding side corner trim question

[TeamRPM]

Is there a way of adding Trim to the end of a wall (at the corner similar to running a sweep on the top and bottom) See attached rendering of the corner what would be the best way of handling this.

I remember being able to do an endcap in ADT

Thanks in advance for any information

Use the modeling bar: Hosted Sweep: Wall Sweep (Vertical). A little picky sometimes but you can use any profile you want. 1x6, 1x8 etc you should be able to load it in from the Revit profile families.

Otherwise do an in-place family sweep. YOu could make the "L" as a profile and then just pick the corner, and the L should follow.

you da man thanks alot (you are right it is a little buggy but it got the job done

Try this. You place it in plan, then in elevation it is "stretchable"

Scott,

Is there a way to stretch this piece by grabbing it in elevation (ie, extrusion handles as in the family editor) or is the answer just to use the instance parameters in the properties dialog?

I imagine an in-place family could be copied around and then the extrusion handles would function.

Thanks!

Thanks! Abe,
You can use the align tool to "stretch" this piece. I think this is the case with instance parameters, anybody confirm this?

At least I thought you could. Doesn't seem to work for me now, :confused::Oops:.

try it now. the ref planes had to be designated as top and bot and then it stretches.

[adegnan]

Aha! Great. I actually ended up doing it all with in-place profile families which worked very well, in the mean time. I'll download and check it out, but I think that you are correct that the reference planes would be exactly what is needed. Cool.

I'll be using this quite a bit. Thanks!
Just one question. I've been on an extended holiday and seem to have forgotten most of what I knew (or so it seems). How does one control the material for this corner trim? There doesn't appear to be a material instance parameter. I'm sure I am missing something simple here.

Hi Joef,

You need to open the family and then add a Material parameter, as either instance or type, then when loaded in a project, you can assign a material.

[Steve_Stafford]

Just to clarify, the "Corner Trim" family adds and is assigned to a subcategory to Generic Model objects called Corner Trim. You can leave the family alone and just change the object style in your project to use whatever material you choose.

Yes it was one of my first families so it may have been even earlier than 3. I did my first CDset in 2.x and it had some corner trim so I think I made it for that project.

[Rols]

Very nice family. It's exactly what I needed.
Much appreciated!
