cortssmith Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I cannot figure out how to create a wall just in the top half to cover the stairs. This is in a tiny home and they are trying to maximize their space. The picture attached should clarify what I am trying to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Reshaped wall polyline, ceiling plane, and/or polyline solids. Polyline solids for both the wall and ceiling are easiest but to get the stair railing to display correctly, you’ll probably need to use an actual wall. There are a couple options there though as well...reshape the wall OR put the wall on a unique layer and turn that layer off in camera views. Post the plan though and I just might make you a quick video this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgardner Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Kind of a hog for time, but I have also used a straight wall and added in a shaped window pass through with all of the settings adjusted. no sill/frame/casing/etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually builds the wall right but you need to figure out your heights using cross sections and adjust the shape of the window top. You can reframe the wall manually and it is correct. It solves the issues with the drywall not finishing right from ceiling planes to wall transitions which are always a pain with those walls.

cortssmith Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 I ended up doing that and it works just fine! Hard to get it lined up perfect but that's what I needed. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key to get it lined up is cross sections and measuring how much to go up and down on each side. 23 minutes ago, cortssmith said: I ended up doing that and it works just fine!

How did you work around that? I didn't look at the plan file. Just offered something I have done with other plans with this scenario. OP said it worked for him. Maybe they can share? @cortssmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
