Interior Wall showing through.

I had this same problem a couple of years ago when I started using AC. I changed something back then and haven't had the problem.Now I have started using the STS template and the problem is back and I can't rember how I fixed it before.
The interior walls show through the exterior walls on the isometric drawing. I went back to the floor plan and tried to make sure they ended at the face of the wall but that doesn't seem to help. As you can see not all the walls do this. Its kind of random.

When I hide the roof and generated another 3d I could see that these were remnants of walls that had been erased. Not sure why they were still showing up. I erased the remnants and the isometric looks fine.

Somethings to look are would be to make sure reference lines intersect. Toggling your "clean wall and beam intersections under the options menu is a good way to see your reference lines. You might also look at the intersection priorities in your layer setting. Do a search in the manual on these. They are the little numbers next to the layer name in the layer settings dialog box. Keep in mind that these are remembered in the layer combinations, so if this is the issue you will want to reset any relevant layer combination after getting the appropriate priorities set. You also need to be aware of layers that are not showing. A good habit is to set all layers that do not show in a layer combination to a different number than those layers that are showing.

....and maybe set the reference line of the exterior walls to the inside face.....

Your wall reference lines should join.

Select all the internal walls to be joined to an external wall, use Adjust, click on the reference line of the external wall (fat mercedes cursor or black topped pencil) and that should be that.

Thanks,
It was a reference line problem.
