Hello everyone,
Sorry about this rather basic question:
Is there a way to connect a floor slab to a group of surrounding walls?
I am asking, because right now each time I am moving a wall, I have to manually edit the floor slabs to compensate.
This feels rather unnecessary and time consuming, isn´t there a way to have that be done automatically like e.g. walls being extended to roofs?
Thank you for any feedback
Andreas
Hi Andreas,
I guess you are asking for having the walls linked to a slab boundary, is that right? (Because if you mean moving the walls vertically when a slab is moved vertically too, you can handle it by extending the wall to the slab with the vaWallExtend command). This can be handled in Grasshopper but I imagine you wish that feature in Rhino.
What if you move the slab boundary and the walls through their control points? that way you can control when you want to edit both objects or only one of them:
Hi Francesc, thank you for looking into this.

Well, actually I meant the other way around: the slab would be the “child” of the walls.
If a wall is moved / modified (XY plane) the slab would follow.
I suppose this would be the way 99% of the Architects would use it.

Yes, I know the vaWallExtend command, that’s not what I meant.

yes, that is of course possible, but I thought there was already a more advanced / intelligent solution that I am unaware of.
Maybe you can turn this into a wish ?
Thanks

P.S: What software do you use to create this nice Giffs?
Yes, I’ll add this feature to our wish-list.
