Invalid boundary for core boundaries or membrane layers
■ You can add thickness only to a layer that is straight from the top of the wall to the bottom. You cannot
add thickness to a complex layer, such as the one shown in the following image.
■ 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 Tools
When editing vertically compound walls , the Sweeps and Reveals tools 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.

the From column).
