Split Wall

Structural Design User Guide

Splits a straight wall into shorter lengths where it intersects with another element.

The Split Walls window must be populated before any elements can be picked in the 3D view.

The only method to select Elements to be split on and Elements to be split in the 3D view is Pick using cursor.

From the Connections at split part of the Split Walls window, you can specify how the ends of the new shorter length walls are to be connected at the split points:


None	SNODs are not created at the split points and the wall ends are not trimmed back.
Nodes	Wall ends are connected to SNODs, but are not trimmed back.
Trimmed	Wall ends are connected to SNODs and are trimmed back to the geometry of attached items at the point of connection. If a wall to be split is not perpendicular to a wall or section defining a split point, the cut planes are orientated automatically in the correct directions for the joints.
