Complex profile intersections

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 10:29:41 GMT

Having some trouble intersecting complex profiles. Have one that intersects no problem, but another profile won't give me a clean 45 degree intersection. Clean wall/beam intersections is on. Can't figure out why this one won't intersect.

Do both have the same renovation status? At the same elevations? Any other walls (even on layers which are turned off) getting in the way?

It's really baffling me - both are on same story, same renovation status, same elevation, double checked that both were the same profile. There doesn't seem to be anything that would be getting in the way to me.

If they are both in different layers and each layer has a different intersection priority number then they will not trim.
Or if in the same layer and the intersection priority number is 0 (zero) then they will not trim either.

Thanks for the replies. Checked the priority on both, and both are the same. They are also both on the same layer.

Can you turn on your wall reference lines and post a screen shot?

We are experiencing a similar problem to this with complex profile walls. Wondering if anyone can shed light on this.

Our file was working fine until yesterday (working in Teamwork with AC16) when suddenly all partitions stopped intersecting and cleaning up properly. Is there an option somewhere that I am missing? If I draw 2 new and identical partitions they won't intersect properly either (see attached screen grab)

- complex profile all set / working fine in similar files. All priorities are coordinated.
- all settings of wall partition are identical
- all view map functions are unchanged.
- DOO is set to clean wall intersections.
- Renovation status does not have any "Do not intersect" settings turned on.

Has something gone corrupt? And is there a cache that might need purging?

Go to: View > On-Screen View Options > Clean Wall & Beam Intersections

Pretty sure you accidentally turned that off.
