Interior wall trims on angled exterior walls

ezeehoon — Thu, 13 Feb 2025 18:58:16 GMT

I have an another three wall connections question. I understand that the reference lines need to meet at a single point. How should I approach modeling the 'as-built' condition, where the critical dimension for the exterior wall is taken from the outside face, and for the interior wall, it is measured at the center of the wall? I want to trim the interior wall in angle. Please see attached. Thanks.

Technically, the corner intersection of the external walls does not really exist.

Just turn off 'Clean wall & beam intersections' and you will see what I mean.

So, no matter how you extend that internal wall, it will never trim with the external walls because the reference lines do not touch.

This is one fight you will probably not win in trying to connect the walls, as it may not be possible for the reference lines to touch.

In tat case I would simply extend the internal wall into the external wall and then use display order to send the internal wall backwards (this might not work if you have empty fills for the wall skins).

Or create a custom profile column to create the corner connection.

Thank you. I used the Display order technique.

For this scenario, i always put reference line at the interior face, and connects the interior wall to the corner
