wall intersection problem

Anonymous — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 11:37:34 GMT

Hello.
I have two types of walls intersecting as in the picture.
The grey thick walls have a building material with greater priority and also a higher juction order value than the thin black ones. The reference line of the walls do not intersect.
However, this is how it all looks in 2D. In 3D the problem also appears, but only for a height of 8 cm, which is the height of the thin black walls.
I can make neither head nor tail of this. What is there to do?
Thank you.

I have had difficult corners where AC can't resolve the connection. In those cases I create a complex column containing the connections and finish the walls short.

For AC to make the required connection correctly all wall reference lines should be connected. On short height walls you could try leaving the wall 1mm away so that there is no connection, this doesn't work too well if the junction isn't 90 degrees.

Can the walls be placed in two different layers?
If so set the layer intersection priority number to a different value for each layer and they should not intersect.
