wall line

Anonymous — Mon, 26 May 2008 21:44:18 GMT

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to archicad, but here's an annoying problem. How do I get rid of the line between two walls of different height?

Cheers

Depends on your version of AC.

I'm using AC 11

verify that,
1. both walls have the same materials
2. that they touch
3. that the reference lines are in the same place
4. that they have the same priority number in layers

please post a screen shot so that I don't have to keep guessing.

Here are the lines. Bear in mind that the walls DO touch, and the reference lines are on the SAME side. I can't understand it. Does having different thickness walls have anything to do with it?

check the wall priorities: are they the same?
check the layer's palette: are the numbers next to the layers your walls belong to same, or different?

The wall priorities are the same as are the numbers next to the wall layers.

Do the reference lines touch? Are the materials the same?

IMO it is a precision error. Try drawing the wall again.

Yes they do.

hmmm.... can you post a screen shot of your plan?

edit: different thicknesses do not have anything to do with with.
is there a perpendicular wall to those two, joining in the same location? if yes, check the same things mentioned above, particularly the reference line of the perpendicular wall to the one it joins with...

Both walls are polywalls.

The Problem is on how you connected the walls. Difficult to explain clearly, but basically you have to connect first the Main walls and then the balcony.

i think... that if you drag your lower height wall away and drag it back carefully to line up with your black walls, you'll find the line will go away... this may be a display thing but it looks like your lower wall is like a hair line away from lining up with the outside face of the other wall... i may be wrong, but i've seen it happen before....

sorry, i disagree... i think the walls that are on the same plane should BE on the same plane and reference lines on the same side: outside. Then the perpendicular wall needs to be connected onto that point....carefully.

By connect I assume you mean draw or some other procedure? First I drew the outer wall and then the balcony wall. This is what you mean,no?

edit/ reshape/ adjust
or
edit/ reshape/ intersect
both commands will 'connect' walls that haven't been drawn connected in the first place...
by connect in archi-lexicon (haha) i understand that the reference lines touch and thereby the walls are connected... i hope this makes sence...

anyway, back to your problem... i bet that the balcony wall is either a hairline away from the point where the other two walls meet or a hairline of a degree out from the plane it should be on... (if as you say the priorities of all 3 walls are all correct AND all the materials are the same on that plane)
