No Line between Walls with different Fills

See attached image. This is in AC16.
I am curious what people think about this situation:

Do you guys think this is a bug or is this supposed to work like this? Or is there a case why this is OK to work like this?

I have two Walls, one is the continuation of the other, but has a different Fill. Their Reference Lines are in the same line and join. There should be a Line where they join.

I think it is a bug.

Workaround: switch the Reference Line of one of the Walls to the other side.

At first I tough it was depending the angle between the two walls. Over a certain angle the line appears. But in reality the line is drawn if it "hits" the other wall surface. Not sure why it doesn't simply go always to the bisector!
I vote for "bug".

Yeah, that's a strange one too.
In any case, I will report this to Graphisoft.

For my work, not having the line is sometimes desired, so I would not call it a bug. It could be a user setting if the Wall Settings > Floor Plan and Section > OutLines > Wall End Lines controlled the appearance of this line.

Szia Laci,

you can also use the Wall End Tool to create a line between the walls. You should set the Overhang to 1.
I hope it helps.

Üdv,
Kati

Well, that's kind of a workaround, but thanks anyway.

I think GS should treat it as a bug. It's not correct. Two different fills mean two different walls, so the line should split them graphically.
It happened to me also.
Another work around is to put the two walls into different layers with different number of layer or offset the reference line.

Interestingly, if you create the two walls totally separate and move the second one into postion the line is there...

What i normally do is putting those wall on different layer like "stud wall" or "block wall" than assign different intersect no to those layer than you will have a line between two walls.
But the annoying thing is you have to save all your layer combination separately if you want your two walls to show line between them
