Wall wrap as an instance?

Anonymous — Tue, 17 Nov 2015 13:33:21 GMT

I have a wall type that I want the ends to wrap in certain situations. Is there anyway to control this as an instance? I do not want to make another wall because I schedule these wall types and they do not differ if the GWB wraps around some walls at ends and doesn't at others. Thanks for any tips.

Regards Peter.

In these kind of situations I make different walls and then use different (additional) parameters to schedule on.

How do you deal with tagging? That would be more my issue. It has to have the same wall tag because it's the same wall. I guess I could use a different wall for just the end, and make sure noone tags just the end of the wall. That may be a work around. Frankly it's hard to believe it's not an instance option. Thanks

As an example.

Instead of using the Type parameter in your schedule, use a different parameter (e.g Description).

Now you can give both your wall the same description and thus can appear as a single row in your schedule.

You can modify (or create new one) your wall tag and use the Description parameter for your tag.

You now have tow different wall types in your project but will appear s the same one in your tags and schedules

Yeah - that will work. Thanks.
