1st newbie question (angled wall trimming)

Anonymous — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 15:31:43 GMT

Hi,
New to ArchiCAD & new to forum - everyone here in the office is new to ArchiCAD and so apologies if the questions I pose are basic. The learning curve seems rather steep!

Anyway, how can I trim a wall that butts up against another wall that is not perpendicular to it? One always seems to overlap the other. I can change the display order, of course, but the model is still wrong and I suspect any dwg/dxf files I send out will also be wrong.

Many thanks in advance,
Steve

Steve,
Select the wall that butts up against another wall, go to the Edit menu,
select "Adjust", go back to the plan and, with the wall still selected,
pass the cursor over the other wall until the cursor form changes
to the heavy or thick Mercedes cursor (this cursor form indicates
that your are hovering over the reference side of the wall) then click.
