Intersecting Walls at Roofline

Anonymous — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:49:03 GMT

Here I have a wall intersection problem. The blue highlighted wall is necessary to cover that portion of exterior where there is no wall. However, I have no means of angling this wall's base to match the pitch of the vaulted ceiling inside. As well, as you can see on the exterior, the wall intersection is intersecting improperly - exposing the interior skin of the wall, where it should be should the exterior skin to match the rest of the house.

Can anyone offer assitance on this?

Thanks.

It's hard to see in your picture what the problem really is, but generally, when the walls' reference lines don't overlap properly in height at the intersection point, the walls won't intersect properly.

One workaround would be to place the prop wall on a separate layer and increase that layer's intersection number so they don't intersect, and then do a SEO instead, and then as a last step patch up the plan if needed. In fact, any wall-shaped item (a slab, perhaps) would do. I said workaround

Using either SEO or TRIM TO ROOF, you can trim the blue wall. First change the base of the blue wall so it extends below the roof so you will have some wall to trim.
