Secant Pile Wall

[oladamilola]

Hi All, I'm currently battling with a Secant Pile wall System whose height shouldnt go beyond the topography. Can anyone please help on how to go about this.

The Piles should end at about 30cm below Topography surface. Usually i would create an in-place void but then when I do, I can'T seem to Cut the Pile System. I can upload the PileWall Family i created if that helps.

One option is to use a railing that is hosted to the topography and extends downwards, with an offset to bring it below ground level.

You should probably be able to cut those with voids if you tick cut with voids in the family when editing. You could also set a height instance parameter, then you can just adjust those heights manually for each instance.

I can think of some other ways probably like above to do something like this, or perhaps using a curtain wall could also be a nice solution, is it curved or straight? can't really tell lol, actually pretty obvious nvm have to look better.

Haha. Yes. That would have been my last resort but then again I'll be back to the Void extrusion problem as well. The Footpoint for the Secant Pilewall  is level and if i use the Railing option, then I would be stuck with them going past the lower level.

The manual set height by instance doesn't sound bad. It just would be a really tedious process considering i have like 3 nested families within the main Family. You can take a look at the family if you want but it's unfortunately not fully in English.

Although I haven't tried it yet, you might be able to fix that with the custom override for height correction.

Kein problem. Aber du hast ein adaptive Familien verwendet, das ist etwas anderes. Ich möchte das noch im Laufe des Tages sehen.

Mit ein 'Railing' kannst du etwas wie diese Einstellungen verwenden. Negativ, aber nicht genau -5000/-3000 vielleicht 😉

Ich glaube das die 'Railing' eine shöne Lösung ist bei @Anonymous, ganz einfacher wie ihren Adaptive Familien. Das gibt nur zwei Typen Baluster Familien f"ur die beide Borhpfahlen mit eigenes Materialen (assoziiert mit Global Parametern aus dem Typ). Die Bohrpfähle haben auch einen Versatzparameter von oben im Typ. Sie sollten nur die 'Top Rail' mit TAB selectieren und entfernen nach Platzierung (= 'Pick New Host' (topography) --> edit sketch line (flat/custom/-3000 ie).)
