WALL JOINING

Is the only way to avoid two walls from joining to place them on different layers with intersection different? no easy as in Revit where you can select disallow join?

Thanks

Under Options, you have a function called automatic intersection. Which is activated by default. Also quite easy.

But it's a global setting. Unless there is something i don't get, not much of use in my case 😕

Thanks

With a bit of trimming/cutting/splitting of the walls you can force them to start/stop where you want so they do not trim.

But be aware as soon as you manually adjust the length of a wall and it touches another, it will re-trim automatically and you have to manually fix it again.

Can you show an example of what you are trying not to trim?

Ideally showing the wall reference lines as well.

The different layer grouping numbers is a more permanent solution, but means you may have to set up some extra layers.
