wall corner wrapping with 2 windows

[Anonymous]

hello all,

There are 2 walls and 2 windows meeting 90 degree corner. Both walls have Default Wrapping as Do not wrap At Inserts & None At Ends. Both windows have Wall Closure as Both. They don't work like I expected. Please see attached for reference. How can I make layers join like I expected?

Set wall joint to miter?

Thank you for your reply, but meter join fixed 50%. No interior wrapping. Pleas see below.

I am playing with several different objects like architectural column, window center offset.

We will see.

No because the corner is a concrete column with exterior stucco finish. Please see below. That's screenshot of CAD file that I am trying to re-create with Revit LT to practice.

Instead of two walls meeting at corner, I made a column and put it at the corner. And I ran the walls again the column and disjoined. It gives the result close to what I want on floor plan, but now it looks incorrect in elevation. I am thinking about "cheating" by cleaning up with 2D detailing.

Cut Geometry doesn't work for you?

[Anonymous]

Wow. That should work. I didn't even know what cut geometry can do. I have a lot more to learn.

Would you please kindly guide me to any article or video that demonstrate what you did there? or please explain to me?

First of all, what objects do you have there? architectural column, structural column, walls and window?

or just walls and window?

and what did you cut with what object?

It's pretty simple. Press Cut Geometry and then select the element to be cut followed by the element that is supposed to cut it.  On the Options Bar for Cut Geometry, you can tick "Multiple" to select multiple elements to cut into the target.  In my screenshot, the Column is being cut by multiple Mullions.

Note: if you accidently cut in the wrong order, press Uncut Geometry to undo the cut.

Thank you. I appreciate the visual and your effort to make that visual.

Hello again. I have an unexpected problem with columns. The project file is attached. Would you please take a look at 2 problems?

1. 3D looks correct. but not in floor plan.

2. window top and bottom don't get wrapping like left and right?

Use the Join Geometry Tool.

...but, this won't affect the view in the Second Floor Plan View.  That View is dictated by the View Range.  

This is all that View Range captures:

- model the structural column with wrap

- set wall type to no wrap at end

- disallow join each wall end and align by the end of each wall to a face of column

- place a window in each wall and align end of window to face of column

- join geometry column and walls
