Trim walls/ slabs/ columns etc

Dear VisualArq, how we can trim wall or column like it could be done in Archicad with boolean tools?

Hi Roman,

You can use the "Wall Add Solids" and the "Wall Subtract Solids" Components to do a boolean union and a boolean difference respectively between a BRep and a VisualARQ wall.

Cheers!

Hi Roman, I get back to this thread to mention that since VisualARQ 2 it is possible to do boolean operations between Rhino solids and any VisualARQ object. These operations can be done also directly in Grasshopper:

But it's not all about trimmin, you also need to extend .
it would be much easier to add some functionalities like Revit wall joints like , Miter , square off etc.

Hi Shahrokh Kamyab , this is a different case. Wall joints are not calculated in Grasshopper, for the sake of good performance. (We may improve this in future versions). Once you bake the walls, there are some edit options for their joints (Mitter, Butt, ...)
