I have a problem hopefully someone can help me with. I have a retail building I am designing(strip mall). The building has 7 spaces with grid lines at each space. I basically have 4 walls types. One with full brick, one with full EIFS, and 2 stacked combination walls of the first types listed. At each gridline, the walls type changes. For instance on one side of the gridline, the wall is EIFS, on the other side it is brick. I have drawn the wall up to the grid line, then changed to the different wall type to start the next wall. My biggest problem is when adding a pilaster at each grid line. I have been unable to make the column family join the walls correctly for one thing, so I have unjoined it and left it as a blank object. Then to be graphically correct, I have to draw in a filled region to show brick, then a detail line to show the framing line. If I try to join the column to the wall, I end up with a mess of walls joining into the column. Is there a better way to go about this? It seems like a time consuming thing to deal with the way I have done it. Hopefully someone has a better way. Thanks

You have to watch out for the generic column because it will join with walls and show the same material as the wall it joins with ... in essance, it will be a pilaster. You don't really say but it sounds like you don't have pilasters that are the same as any of your walls. If this is so, then you need to create a new column. Check out the structural columns - concrete. If your column is not concrete, you could modify this family to what you need. In this case, your walls will end at the face of the column.

Thanks for your responce, here is a couple of views of what I am talking about. Maybe that will explain it better. Basically, I have all brick veneer pilasters as shown in the images. The walls are a combination of EIFS and Brick. Thanks

Just model your pilaster as a wall (brick veneer) shaped in a U - group it then place it where you need your pilasters.

Can you give me a quick explanation on this. Do I create a column family to start with? Want to make sure I do it right. Thanks

In this case, I think it would be easier to think of it as walls and model it that way. I don't know how big your pilasters are so I can't tell you how to set up your walls. They could be just the veneer if you would want to do that.
