Question about wall intersection

Anonymous — Tue, 09 May 2023 13:53:08 GMT

I need to intersect the selected wall with the thicker wall (which is not orthogonal) and I cannot intersect them seamlessly. Sometimes it works but when the wall is not orthogonal, no matter how I rotate the thinner wall it doesn't let me intersect them. Is there a solution?

In addition to my first question - what I want to do is - to seamlessly merge the thinner corner walls (it's a pilaster) with the thicker walls. The problem is that if it works on the one side, on the other side they don't get properly merged/intersected. It's an old building with crooked walls and the intersection method does not always solve the problem.

Use a Polywall instead. (Not the Polyline method, but the real poly)

Thank you! I used the poly wall. It partially worked. The only issue that remained unsolved - I need to either split it or somehow connected it to the other wall seamlessly. But if I split it - a line appears, if I try to intersect two poly walls - it doesn't let me do it.

Make sure that you extend the Reference Line of the Polygonal Wall so it connects to the Reference Line of connecting Walls.

As Laslo says: Take care of your reference lines 🙂

Thank you! The issue got magically solved. After the fifth try, it worked. I don't know about the reference lines. I'll have them in mind for the next time. I just needed it seamlessly connected.

You can use the "View > On-Screen- View Options > Wall and Beam Reference Lines" menu command to display or hide those Reference Lines. They probably join now. When you are editing a polygonal Wall geometry, the Reference Line location of the Polygonal Wall can also change, it can get shorter or longer.
