I made bottom like poney wall. still not smooth.

So Michael Erick and I have all told you to change that lower wall the same as what you are setting the pony wall on your second level.  That is how it is done but your video shows you not doing that step.

I will try that and show video.

I am aware of the stone and the yellow wall type. But aside from that, how did you do it?

You have three different wall types going on. Its not consistent.

...the lower wall should NOT be a Pony Wall.

That is completely wrong.

 

A Pony Wall, sometimes called a split wall, is a wall with two separate wall types, one above the other.

 

The upper and lower walls may be the same, or different, and you may specify how they are aligned.

That is bizarre. They are NEVER aligned when I make them. That's why I use them.

Can you do that on this face in my file?

Still getting this. I need to figure out hoe to record my procedure so I can post it.

It works as you say. I will try to reproduce and respond. Thx

How could they line up perfectly? The very definition of a pony wall is that it sticks out a certain distance. I absolutely must be missing something here.

Try it yourself.

 

Start a new plan. Set your exterior wall defaults to Brick-4 (or Brick-6).

 

Draw 1st floor. Build 2nd floor -- just take all the defaults.

 

Select 2nd floor walls and make pony walls.

Yes, I did that. Here is result.

Set the first floor wall to the exact same as the lower section of your upper wall and unless you have set your foundation to offset it should all line up.

Would you be so kind as to provide a 2D plan exemplifying what you say?

Thanks

That's what I'm thinking, except for the non aligned part.

 

Interesting. What does this look like in plan view?  I am not good enough at CA to take a drawing where the two floors are aligned an offset them to obtain this effect. I assume these two floors are not aligned, yes?

And are you using X10?

X11. Imagine you have two floors and you want a pony wall to go from ground level to the middle of the second floor. Above that is non-pony wall.
If the walls in the plan view are aligned perfectly and you only put pony wall on second floor, you would have a pony wall sticking a few inches out over the first floor wall. The wall has to be smooth all the way up to the top of the pony wall.
If you're thinking"Well, just make your walls non aligned and put regular wall on first floor, I cannot because I'm following the 2D ACAD file the architect gave to me.
I hope you see my point.

My question is why won't "stop at ceiling above" do the trick?

I think what Erick was saying is make your first floor wall just the masonry wall, make your second floor pony wall with lower wall as masonry, and the upper as the yellow wall.  Set your elevation you want and it will auto build it how you want.  Really discourage dragging walls as it will cause issues later.

I see, but if the first floor is masonry wall, won' the second floor with pony wall stick out (cantilever wise)over the masonry wall? The first and second floors should be continuous face with not inset or outset.

Why?

 

Why a pony wall? Why not a regular (non pony wall) wall?

Well, the design of the house calls for stone that dimensionally stands away from the wall a certain distance and has a cap. Plus it can be raised to any given height unlike  a wall, I assume.
Therefore my question about raising it to next floor. If I used a regular wall I'd have to "inset" the yellow wall offset from the regular wall.
Is dragging the only way to bring it up to the upper floor pony wall and if so, will the walls suddenly change at any given time based on some other seemingly unrelated modification?
Thanks!

This is what I'm trying to achieve but it is too difficult for me. I'm overwhelmed.

I don't know how to clean up this one corner. Not sure if it is because of over definition of wall.
Is someone willing to do it in the file for me? File is attached above.

You need to select the wall in PLAN VIEW.

Ahh! I will try. Thx

No not the connect walls button.  Do you have the one wall selected?  Not both.  Just the wall you want to adjust the layers on. Maybe search the help files?

I have only one wall selected but the blue L doesn't show up. Try it to see.

Oh, that doesn't show up in toolbar when I select wall.
I have Premier 11
