exterior material gone wrong in an in-place mass wall

Anonymous — Wed, 14 Mar 2018 11:22:30 GMT

In the image is seen how the exterior material of the wall adjusts with the wall and I need the "stripes" to continue horizontally like in the walls next to this one. The wall is curved, so I´ve made it with an in-place mass tool.

How can I make this happen?

If you just need a curved wall, draw the wall using arc lines. Alternatively, draw a detail line arc for what you need and use the 'Pick Line' draw command when drawing your wall.

I can´t make the wall using the normal wall command because as you can see from the photo the wall is not a normal wall in an elevation view and you can´t edit the profile of a normal curved wall. That´s why I used the In-place mass.

And also the problem is not really the forming the wall itself but the exterior material´s behaviour within the wall.

Issue is still unsolved, does anyone have a clue about this one?

You need to create the solid or surface form with a constant height, then use a void form to booleen the top off to make the slope. Then the wall by face will have the correct material mapping.
