MN_JohnH Posted Friday at 03:08 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:08 PM I have this weird attic wall sticking out into space. I have tried redrain everything and it it still there. Funny thing is, it only shows up on a full camera or perspective full overview. When I go to perspective floor overview camera it is not there.

But still, why is that wall sticking out like that? I have tried everything including redrawing the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted Friday at 03:59 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:59 PM Attic walls can be frustrating. For example, the wall beside the stairs on Floor 1 will generate an attic wall that is definitely not what you want. Of course that raises the question about why the stairs are partially but not completely enclosed by walls. Perhaps railing on the right of the stairs would make more sense. Is this what you had in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that raises the question about why the stairs are partially but not completely enclosed by walls. Perhaps railing on the right of the stairs would make more sense. Is this what you had in mind? I wanted that partial wall to go all the way up as it will be behind a fireplace. But I suppose I could just build it as a polyline solid. It just seems sometimes like as advanced as this program is we still have to say things like "attic walls can be frustrating" and have to find workarounds for certain things. I expect someone will eventually chime in here with a solution and it will all be so simple, but it seems like there are several points in every project where I waste a tremendous amount of time on some little things like this. Anyway, thanks. I will probably just use solids which is the answer to so many of these issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robdyck Posted Friday at 04:35 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:35 PM For this model, there currently is no need to increase the 2nd floor ceiling height. And, if there is no flat ceiling, then you need to set the interior walls to balloon through. Without that, the top will stop at the ceiling elevation and an attic wall will generate. Hopefully that makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should have remember the "balloon through" from our last conversation. I still have a little corner up there to cover but I can take care of that easy enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
