I’m using chief architect premier x12 Draw a polyline solid in elevation view. Draw it on the wall, then move it to the left the correct amount. Set it's thickness as desired. Remember, it will be on the wall, so if you set it to be 4" thick, you'll need to move it 4" back to be flush with the wall cladding. Once it's flush, the material will blend perfectly. Don't forget to set it's layer to whatever works for you. For example, I have an Exterior Trim layer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdiaz4 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Thank you, Any time I draw the poly line and make it into a solid, it creates only a mold around it and doesn't give me thickness options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR use the 'point-to-point' move tool to accurately place the solid to the corner of the wall. Then, select the wall, open the dialog box, then close it. The material will then blend.

pdiaz4 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 I apologize, a little new at this, as you can tell.. But at this point I'm just trying to figure out if it's even possible for it to blend like the very first picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem getting rid of the lines as long is everything is actually lined up. It's probably worth noting though that you do have to hit F12 or click Rebuild 3D in some situations to get a pre-existing camera to remove that line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Is the corbel thin like a wall (like the pic below), or does it run all the way along the wall like a frieze? I used a wall to do this very quick one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try creating breaks and it won't allow me to break and manipulate it You don't shape the side of the wall, you shape the bottom of the wall. Create a new short wall that extends out to the fascia, drag the bottom of the wall up and start shaping it. The bottom of the wall becomes the underside of your curved corbel. The big drawback is you can't shape it into a proper curve. What I did was draw a circle to the shape, placed break points in the wall and then snap the break points to the circle.

I'm just stretching an attic wall and F12 won't get the frieze to build on the new portion. Open & close on the roof plane does! So I've certainly got a habit of just doing a double-click then press Enter right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I did it exactly how the video was, I tried f12, I tried rebuild walls and it doesn't work. I drew another plan to see if it was me not doing it correctly and it worked, I'm assuming it's because of that second wall kinda creeping out but the walls are the same sizes.

Looks to me like your objects aren't properly aligned. Might help to make sure your various snaps are turned on, especially Bumping/Pushing...
