Chopsaw Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Picture is a little fuzzy. Does it only taper on one side ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Place a break in the top of your wall and rip it down to the bottom to create the angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 That looks more like a splayed pilaster. I would make that out of a polysolid and smash it into the wall for the 3d view. For plan view, make a CAD box to give you what you want. I would not alter a piece of actual wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a column in the library -- might be from a bonus library, that is upside down from what you need, but may be rotated. Hey Eric. That worked great. My only question is can I manipulate that column at all? im trying to change the angle and all I can do is change the width and height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisualDandD Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 1 hour ago, solver said: Not like you need to do. I'd draw a polyline solid in elevation making it whatever shape you need. This but do a cad detail from view so snaps work everywhere. Then draw shape the size you need then copy/paste/hold position so you can get perfect alignment. I usually snap to the outside of the veneer and then match materials. You will end up with a CAD line which can be erased when you send to layout.

Draw it in elevation view and you should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
