Complex Profile Wall corner connection issues

Rene Pahlavan — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 22:30:45 GMT

I created a complex profile foundation wall that is two ICF bricks high (ie. 3 feet) - these two walls are joining up fine in plan, but the 3D has these overlaps that I cannot get rid of. The walls are exactly the same in terms of settings and positioning. Some screenshots attached. I seem to have tried everything to get rid of it (including restarting and repairing the file). Anyone any ideas what else I could try?

Screenshots for illustrations below:

works fine in plan

settings are exactly the same

They are not overlapping with some wall above are they?

No overlapping walls.

Ok - looks like I figured out the problem. Working in a hotlink module - somehow there were multiple copies of the complex profile with the same names. Identical in every way, but obviously not getting along. I went through and "delete and replace" the copies and replaced with the one I need to keep.

However, now some of the corners won't intersect properly, while others do. Screenshots attached.

bad corner

good corner

OK - now figured out how to fix this problem too. Eye-droppered one wall and injected to the other. Even though the walls were all the same, must've been a different wall setting somewhere.

Hope this is helpful to others that may experience this.

Slightly different z values?

No they were the same. Turns out I had two complex profiles with the same name in the mod file - deleting and replacing one solved the problem, along with eyedropping and injecting all settings into all the walls. Solved. Thanks Lingwisyer for your help!

Ah, the attribute management nightmare...
