Modifying Wall Profiles
Certification An important extended modeling technique for walls is the ability to customize the elevation
Objective profile of a wall segment. There are two ways you can accomplish this: by attaching the wall’s
top or base to another element or by editing the sketch profile of the wall. You can apply these
methods to basic walls, stacked walls, and curtain walls.
To attach a wall to another element, select a wall segment and you will see the Attach Top/
Base button in the contextual Modify tab. Once this command is activated, select either
Top or Base, and then pick an object. Walls can be attached to roofs, ceilings, floors, reference
planes, and even other walls. Figure 12.28 shows a stacked wall that has been attached to a
curvilinear roof by extrusion.
