WALL PROFILE- HOW TO APPLY A CHAMFER FOR THE TOP AND SIDE EDGES

[alejandroCH79K]

Hi Team, 

I'm currently trying to apply a chamfer 15x15 to the top edges and sides. 

However, I don't want to do it manually with a reveal or create a void with a generic model. Is there a way I can do it by default on my wall?

From the type, I know I can modify and add a reveal section for the top part, but what about the sides? 

I can probably use Precast-Configuration-connections and the profiles to make it work.

What do you think you could suggest?

You do not want to use reveals, generic model voids, in place voids or anything which is manual…does that mean you are referring to something automated like Dynamo? If yes do you know how to use dynamo or are you looking for someone to do it for you?

1. How about you set it as a material bump map? Would look like a chamfer just not physically 
2. you could use a curtain wall with a custom curtain panel which is chamfered
3. or you could also model the panel itself chamfered and nested into a line based component. (I remember there was on this forum a discussion on something similar for a retaining wall)
4. last but not least why don’t you use Precast components?

It sounds like you're trying to create some sort of prefabricated part, like a concrete wall.

I achieved something similar by making an "Model in-place" family within the project, chamfering with voids, and then exporting the in-situ model as a loadable family (it stays as a wall category if you don't hit the category button in the family editor)

This sounds like a model in place, too much time-consuming, its not an option for me. thanks

I am actually using precast components. I use the precast plugin to create my precast assembly, and I have seen some options for profiles and connections. I wonder if I can modify those families to get a chamfer, but there is no information about it online.

hi there anyone from autodesk can help me ?

 either black or red I wd do a wall base family and adjust all you want.
