Mass Problem

[nemo_hamdy]

Hi,

I had a problem with wall by face after editing the height of a part of my mass... the problem is the wall doesn't take the shape of the mass after editing it although the all parts of the mass are joined

did you try to selecet the wall and click update to face ?

didn't work 😞

You need to update all the walls to the new mass faces... While the walls are bound to the faces of the mass, their extents are joined to the other walls...When you update all, it will line up and work the way you want them to

thank you all 🙂 for help but i think the problem is different because i am not updating the created walls ... what i am doing is after updating the mass i deleted the old walls and when i create the new wall it takes a wrong shape

i tried also your solution @RDAOU and it didn't work ... but you taught me something i didn't know

It is not working because there is nothing wrong with it 🙂 it is just following the original footprint of the mass...it's how you modeled it

As it is a curved (slightly slanted 😕 0.4 degrees) wall and you cannot edit it's profile; you will need to cut it with a void ...You can do it with an in-place component (same like you did for the whole mass you modeled) or using a family (similar to how you cut wall openings - you place all the walls onto the faces then you cut and trim all those undesirable ends.
