BeeoHat Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'm using CA Premier X6. I'm trying to draw an interior wall as shown in the attached image. The two cylinders are just decorative posts. I can't find any way to model the two wall sections that do not reach to the ceiling. It seems all walls default to the room's ceiling height. Is there any way around this??

Joe_Carrick Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 It's basically a Railing (Solid) but there is a "Half Wall Tool in the Walls Dropdown.Menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Draw a regular wall, put in a doorway, put in two pass thru windows and push up against door opening. Confirm that the minimum separation distance is zero. Done vids on this. The pic was done with doorways and pass thrus in a full height normal wall.

BeeoHat Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Thanks so much for prompt reply. I tried the doorway and pass thru window, as Scott suggested, but I can't get the window to push up against the doorway. I've removed all framing, sills, lintels, etc. How to ensure the minimum separation distance is zero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 In the windows DBX set the min separation distance to 0 andin the doors DBX remove casings. Also hold down the control key when trying to slam them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution dshall Posted March 8, 2014 Solution Share Posted March 8, 2014 ...... How to ensure the minimum separation distance is zero? go to EDIT<DEFAULT SETTINGS<(double click on window) WINDOW<GENERAL<MINIMUM SEPARATION, change that from 2" to zero. This should be defaulted to ZERO O.O.B., but it ain't, keep that way for all of your plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeoHat Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 You guys are freaking awesome!! That minimum separation adjustment finally did the trick!! Thanks so much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 You know, I've always wondered why we have to go to the window DBX to change a door setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 One other question about half walls. I would like to wrap one in tile. I can define a new wall and add layers for tile. So far, so good. But what about that pesky top rail? How can I either make it disappear, or change it to the same material? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Apply the same tile material to the Rail on the Material panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Change the "Railing" to the same material and set the width to "Automatic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 One trick I sometimes use is to make a "Cabinet" with a blank front, no toe-kick and the countertop have 0 overhang. You can make the cabinet any height, width & length you need and just set the countertop and cabinet material to "tile". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
