    Stacked Header at Corners of Soldier Course (Wall Sweep)

    I'm trying to create a stacked header corner condition for my soldier courses and it doesn't want to work. Soldier course is a wall sweep, and the stacked header is currently a series of GMs that are placed where they need to be. Cut & Join don't work if I try to affect the soldier course, and joining to the wall doesn't really get me much. Is there a better way to do this?

    edit: face based family maybe? pretty sure that will cut the sweep.. I'll try and report back.

    Face Based family works until I put it at the corner - then it freaks out and says it can't cut the host :banghead:

      Possibly just split the wall into 2 at soldier course level and have the solider course as a Line-based GM and the corner header as face-based or unhosted?

        Unhosted, cuts with voids, use cut geometry instead of join geometry. You might have to toggle the cuttable option in the wall sweep the properties.

          That works except at the corner, unless I'm doing something wrong?

            Did you do cut geom on both? After setting the corner to be mitered? Hmm, let me try here. I swear ive done it that way.

              on my way to a meeting - I'll go through everything again when I get back. Could just be a PEBKAC error.

                It might be that mine are stacked walls, and not wall sweeps. Ill have to open one and check..
