A Little Treat: Wall-Type 2

Alright, so I couldn't help myself after the recent post in regards to adding return walls to the 2D wall elevation. I added the wall returns, but I couldn't just stop there. I added some parametrics to it and other options as well. Each end of this product has four options: Wall End Cap, Wall End Return, Wall End Return Angled, and Wall End Extension. For the most part these are formulated based on how the wall is originally drawn. But they can be changed on the fly via the Product Prompts.

*NOTE OF CAUTION: I modified the original wall and named this Wall-Type 2 so the original wall will always exist. I have not put this through extensive testing, but in my brief tests this seems to work very well; however, it may not work in all circumstances. This is not an official Microvellum-released product, simply one of my own design; therefore, use at your own risk.

This product also includes, by default, hatched floor plan and hatched wall returns - these can be turned off in the prompts. I had to modify the width and height dimensions of the product so you will need to UNCHECK Dimension Elevation Length and Dimension Elevation Height in the Wall Setup (Toolbox Options>Wall Setup) otherwise you'll have double the dimensions. Other than that, ENJOY!

The file is attached (along with the help image) and can be imported easily using Database Explorer.

Please view the video below to see a demonstration of how the product works.
