Wall accurate intersections optimal workflow

[fsalla (Francesc Salla)]

Hi Zab,

@zabrielza

Do you mean playing with the layer offsets while creating the wall style? Or do you mean the Top and Bottom Offsets after having created the actual wall? Because I had tried changing the offsets while creating the wall-style but I was not able to do it.

Both. The layer Top and Bottom offset is a style feature that can be edited by object. It’s up to you how to edit it.

@zabrielza

I have sent you the file!

I’m checking this, and I can see some nasty lines at the corner. They appear due to the other wall marked with a X:

Doesn’t seem easy to get rid of them. I’ll report this to the development team.

@zabrielza

Wouldn’t it be usefull to have the ability to either create from curves or from dimensions just like with normal windows, when the actual gh definition allow it? Is it technically impossible or do you consider it a not important feature?

Yes, absolutely! But this requires some development. Since there is a workaround, this is not a priority in our list of features to implement now, but hopefully we will handle it in the future.

@zabrielza

Until then, do you have any workaround in mind for having a hole automatically in the structural assemblies of the wall (created after the wall creation) when placing a door or window ?

If you use beams or columns as structural components of walls, you can use the vaSubtractSolids to clear the area for an opening. This process can be automated using GH components.
