Tom I use compound wall for everything. Part of what I had to do was determine the amount of detail that I wanted to perform. I want my building to create the section of 1/2" scale or larger AND The plan for 1/8" scale or larger Here are the issues I have and how to fix them. The first is CENTERLINE. With the CENTERLINE I can create many materials that would require 2d drafting in the Drawing Model. For examples. Metal Panels, Shingles, T&G planks, CMU Walls, etc First CENTERLINES must be fixed to allow for full width of centerline cells. Metal Panels - I have a linestyle for a 4", 6" and 8" Pan. I use it as a centerline for a form. The color for the outline of that form is the background color. Shingles - I do the same as the metal panel but to do this right I must have one for EVERY slope. So on a hip roof I have 4 patterns. This is where CENTERLINE needs orientation toward base. T&G - fairly easy CMU walls - very Tough as a Centerline recognizes a line in relation to the origin centerline.cell however the end of the centerline does not recognize the end centerline.cell. That needs to be addressed. I also create a 2" blocking Centerline with an "X" - So for that detail I have to eigher make the decision to break blocking down into 2" stips of non-unifying material or wait for the CENTERLINE to be fixed and provide a single centerline. So currently I can create most sections fully and the only 2d addition is CMU, Metal Pans, etc. NOW Then something like the roof. I do as you are doing but KNOW that roof (sloped compound walls) Only join with other like walls and you have to struggle with the orientation. Part is a FORM or WALL and an ASSEMBLY is a Compound WALL or Compound Form THE FIX. - Even know these are walls they are still FORMs. SO extend any side to another any side should work. BUT IS DOESN't SO---- The fix is to allow form tools Side tools work too on any wall. The WALLS only as WALL TOOLS is a handicap and force you into a very limited boxy design. SO Fixes to take sections a step toward completion. Fix Centerlines Allow ANY FORM Side Manipulation on compound Assemblies
