Gawdzira Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I have a bay window on a wall that is a pony wall setup with a stone skirt at the lower section. The bay window is taking on the stone skirt even though I would like the siding to be on the entire bay window. I was hoping that by changing the wall type (as shown in the dbx) the stone would go away but no luck so far. Possibly a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Alan, can you attach the plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Wow. We can attach files up to 10mb. It's like xmas in March. File attached. The window seat with the issue is at the bottom right portion of the house in plan view "office". I just made a molding to cover the offending area.

Alaskan_Son Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I was actually able to recreate the same thing before you attached the plan. The only way I seemed to be able to get it to work right was to break the exterior wall on either side of the bay window and then change the wall type for the section the bay window was in. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to matter what wall type you use, the brick will automatically continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hmmm...I guess that still leaves you with a patch required underneath the bay window. It definitely seems buggy because if you change that main wall type to delete the pony wall, open the bay window dbx and change it to something other than "use main wall type", open the main wall again and add the pony wall, it will draw correctly in the preview pane, but as soon as you close the dbx the brick (or whatever you use for the pony wall) builds all the way around the bay window again.

Solution glennw Posted March 1, 2014 Solution Share Posted March 1, 2014 Alan, Is this what you are after? I was able to achieve this by manipulating the join between the pony walls. In a 3D view, select the lower foundation wall. Place break points at the top of the wall at either side of the bay. Pull that section of wall down to the bottom of the bay. The bay walls fix themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
