Multilayer wall with Finish at openings

[indiana_j0nes]

Hi,

I am having a situation here, the image below can help explaining.

This is regarding the wall finishes on openings.
In order to have the required finish thickness for insulation at wall openings, I made two layers of finishing with varying thickness, one which wraps at openings and the other doesnt. However I am getting a line in-between the two layers, any ideas how else I can go about this?

Thanking you for your tips..

Aaaah , here we go again....

This is one of those crazy problems. Nobody had a perfect solution and everything we tried is kinda a workaround.

Its a good thing that double layer, but I think you cant get rid of the line between those two layers.

Personally, I don't like to wrap walls here. Instead of that, I nest shared generic models into the window families and then join them with the walls. That way, I get a clean presentation. I do the same thing on top of the window. Did you notice that wall layer wrapping at inserts does not apply on the top of a window? Also, the wrapping is not taken into the quantity calculation which forces you to create parts. Luckily, the nested generic model is. But you need to create it as shared family.

There s a smart way to create these kind of windows. These wall interactions can be created in a "master" window family. So, all different window frames should be nested into the window family that controls the interaction with the walls. The thicknesses of the "wrapped" elements should be constrained with instance parameters.

Actually you are right, that doesnt really help in Sections where u kinda see the finishing.

But I would still leave this post as one without a solution yet, so maybe we can build on to the various workarounds you mention.

Nesting generic within Family is one way to go about, I have it for another project, but was wondering if anything has changed over the years.
The line is still represented as a dashed like even if you overwrite it as a invisible line. Strange right?
Anyway thanks for your reply.

maybe you can try to overwrite it with the white line...

Are they actually two layers of insulation when built?

[indiana_j0nes]

No, but I built them as two layers because I wanted a specific thickness of the insulation to be wrapped at openings.

[ToanDN]

Are you sure that is how they will actually be built? What kind of insulation that wraps like that?

[indiana_j0nes]

My apologies, you are right. It doesnt really wrap, but an insulation of a different thickness is placed neighboring the openings.

You can use Cut profile tool to get the look.

Looks neat, however I failed to replicate it, could you possibly share the file with me?

Kind regards,
