SkyMac Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 How do you get the glass not to cut into drywall, I'm using Glass shower wall with pony wall below. As you can see in the pic below the glass cuts the drywall and a back splash for tile. Shows the framed wall beyond. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I personally use polyline solids for my glass panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan_Son Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Thanks, I'll try that way You bet. There are a ton of techniques people use for these situations but what I usually do is drag a wall down in elevation, cap it with a custom countertop (usually the thickness of tile) and then build the glass with polyline solid(s).

mtldesigns Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I do what Michael does as well, but I use a straight half wall instead of dragging the wall down. I just set at height I need and modify the rail (see attached). But as mentioned, there are a couple ways to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosco2017 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 This video has no sound because A.) I sound like a girl, and B.) It's to early for liquid courage. Use the wall intersection tool. Worked for me. See video here... http://www.screencast.com/t/aLPwmpkak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmejerry Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Just use the "edit wall intersections" tool in the bottom toolbar when you click on the wall. Make sure the upper(glass) wall is being displayed. Pull back the intersection to the face of the drywall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justmejerry Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Yep, was parked on the page for a bit before I posted and didn't even see your post Ross. Definitely works this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco2017 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Have you tried it with a wall material region? Currently away from my desk and just thought about that. I assume it would work the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco2017 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 NVM, Just tried it and it looks great. Lol. I wasn't sure if the wall would "cut" or "interrupt" the Wall Material Region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmejerry Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 If you have material region it doesn't seem to affect it for some reason, looks clean. You cannot pull it back to material region surface unless you are cutting the surface by the thickness of the drywall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco2017 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 For some reason, I thought it would be an issue. Looks like it's clean to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
