Curved wall where Top face is sloped

Curved wall where Top face is sloped

Need the ability to create a curved wall with the top face sloping. An idea on how these might work for an end user is to select your wall and right click. You would then have an option to modify points moving them up/down , thus creating a slope.

Currently  in example below. I Created a curved wall which started at 135 deg and ended at 225 deg as an example. I then attached the top to a ref plane to get a slope. However the ends are not aligning with the attaching walls, creating triangles where they join with neighboring walls. The Ends need to be level, which in turn will remove the triangle in the joinsWall Control Points.jpg

Below is some views and details of the requirement. This was created in AutoCAD using profiles and lofting them to get the required outcome. Notice the ends are level.

Allow the option "Edit profile" for curved wall.

For now all options (mass+wall by face; attach top/base to "invisible" sloped floors; cut wall by void) are really not easy to use.

Thank you in advance.

Your idea sounds like mine. Please confirm.

Hi @wr.marshall ,

I'm not sure they are the same issues. What I'm trying to do is a curved sloped wall - see attached file -, either using an inclinaison value or modifying sub-elements, as we do for floors. 

We should be able to modify slope or subelements of top face/bottom face independently.

I'm not talking about tapered walls.

Sincerely.

I probably worded my original idea wrongly, but if you look at pics I attached to my idea you will see one end of a curved wall is higher so the slope is on the top face.

 

-EDIT- managed to edit my original idea so maybe explains better the requirement. I still feel the same idea

Allright, I will vote for your idea.

Sincerely.

So my cheat for this is to create an "air" floor to control the heights with modify by points. Then attach the wall to the bottom of the "air" floor.

@andrea_kohl - Just visited this idea again as I was playing around yesterday and came up with same solution as you, so was going to mention it.
