!Restored: intersection in a corner

Anonymous — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 19:42:23 GMT

Hello,

Probably the solution is very easy, but I can’t find the right way.
I’ve draw the exterior wall with composites.
When I draw an interior wall to it, Archicad automatically solve the intersection.
But on a corner it gives some problems.
Can Someone help me

Thanks

Check that the reference lines meet.

Technically the cavity wall in the corner does not exist if your reference lines are on the inside of the corner.
The corner intersection is simply made because the auto intersection tool is on.
Turn it off and you will see a big gap in the corner.

Because the single leaf wall you are adding at the corner does not touch the reference lines of the cavity wall it will not trim.

The only solution that may work is to move the reference line of the cavity walls from the inside of the corner to the outside (i.e. the same side your walls are on)
Then the reference lines will touch and all should trim as expected.

Barry.

Hello,
tanks for the replies.
I’ve checked the reference lines, but that was not the problem.
I’ve tried to draw the line some further but it still doesn’t work.
It’s strange that there’s no other solution.
I expected it to be a problem that everyone had a lot.
Is there an other way to draw these wall correct?
I thought to draw every part of the exterior wall apart, but that’s a big job.

how about use complex profile to design this wall

With using complex profiles, you mean that I have to draw the intire plan in a profile?

kristof, on the contrary, your figure clearly indicates (to me) that the referenc line IS the problem. To get this to work, you should try to move the reference line of the composite wall to the other side than it is now. Use the Design>Modify wall > Reference line command. I think that will clear this up. But backup your file first!

Oeps,
The reference lines were indeed the problem, but now there is another issue.
When I change the side of the reference line, the wall is mirrored.
Witch means that the outside of the wall is coming to the inside.

I think I found it.
I didn’t had to change the side of the reference line, but the I had to change the offset.
So I bring the reference line to the other side of the wall, without mirroring the wall.
Thank you all very much

Kristof
