Extend Layers at End Of Wall

[PhilvK]

I've unlocked layers so the the wall finishes can extend to the base of the wall (orange arrows). How do I get the end of the wall highlighted in yellow to extend to the green line?

unlock it too

[PhilvK]

I tried that but can't figure hew. Cutting a section thru the end of the wall doesn't show anything.

Does the wall originate from that lower level? If so, zero out the Base Extension values under the Wall's Instance Properties.  

[PhilvK]

Yes, that works for the end, but then the sides don't work. I want the wall to set on a concrete curb and the tile extend to the floor on the sides and end of the wall as in the sketch below.

[barthbradley]

Ah, I see what you are doing now.  Offset the Wall from Level (offset=height of curb) and then enter the distance to drop the Base Extension.  

[PhilvK]

Did that too, but that brings the end up also!

[barthbradley]

wait a minute. I think I  gave you the wrong instructions. Can you just post the file so I look at the Wall Assembly and see what's unlocked.  

[PhilvK]

File attached. Thank you for looking!

Do not extend layers.  Lower the entire wall to the floor then join it with the concrete curb.

This?

[PhilvK]

Nice. Didn't know you could do that!

[barthbradley]

Ah! I just understood your construction. You're wrapping a curb/stem on the ends with the wall's finish layers.  So basically, the curb/stem is an embedded wall.

...@ToanDN's a rock star as usual.  😉

Embedding the curb appears to solve the end issue, but then the side layers can't be extended.

Create Parts from Wall, Select the Core Part in Section View, activate Shape Handles and then drag the base up to the top of the curb.
