Separation line between walls?

Anonymous — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 02:52:24 GMT

Hi,
I have 2 different height walls. One is 900mm height, the other is 3.2m height. I wanna to have a line between these 2 walls but I could not set it. I tried wall end in Wall setting but it doesnt work. Maybe there is something else somewhere.
Please see attached and in the mark-up area.
Please advise,
MAny thanks

This is a poor solution, but usually I just draw a 2D line.

Or you can leave a tiny gap between the walls, say 1/16" or 1mm.

There are a number of ways to do this, which solution may depend on the specifics of your walls
1. put walls on different layers and have different intersection numbers/
2. If one wall is below the cut plane, it will appear looking down on it and give you the correct look.
3. Different floor plan displays e.g. one wall is cut through the other symbolic.
4. or it could be as simple as checking the Wall End Lines setting in the floor plan and section tab.

5. The Wall fill can be duplicated and that duplicate can be assigned to one of the Walls.

6. Have the reference lines NOT connect. Place one opposite.

PS. Rod's solution is the simplest one.
