■ You cannot split a wall horizontally and then move the outside boundary of one of the regions
independently of the other. For example, if you select the left outer boundary of the lower region, the
left outer boundary of the upper region is also selected.
■ Layer function priorities cannot ascend from the core boundary to the finish face. For example, you
cannot have a finish layer in the core boundary and then a structure layer at the exterior side.
Sweeps and Reveals Commands
When editing vertically compound walls , the Sweeps command and the Reveals command control placement
and display of sweeps or reveals on the wall.
To add a sweep to the wall structure:
1 In the Edit Assembly dialog, click Sweeps.
2 In the Wall Sweeps dialog, click Add.
3 Select a profile from the list.
For example, select Parapet Cap-Precast.
4 Specify a material for the sweep.
5 For Distance, specify the distance from either the top or base of the wall (select top or base in
the From column).
6 For Side, specify the interior or exterior of the wall.
7 Specify a value, if necessary, for Offset.
A negative value moves the sweep toward the wall core.
8 Select Flip to measure the distance from the top of the sweep profile rather than the bottom.
9 For Setback, specify the sweep setback distance from inserts, such as windows and doors.
10 Select Cuts Wall if you want the sweep to cut geometry out of the host wall.
When a sweep is offset and embedded in the wall, it cuts the geometry from the wall. In complex
models with many sweeps, you can increase performance by clearing this option.
11 Select Cuttable if the sweep should be cut by wall inserts.
In the image below, see how the sweep is cut by the windows.
