Wall intersections

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 11:05:32 GMT

Hi,

I have some problems with the wall intersections : the priorities works in 2D but in 3D the result is pretty bad. So how can I do a "L" connection in 3D like in 2D ?

Thank you !

Is this what you was looking for?

Whilst in 3D view, i selected the bottom right node and simply dragged it up to meet with the white wall.

Hope this image can explain it.

I tried it but the wall move...

Which version of Archicad are you using?

Also have you got both of the walls selected?

I am using archicad 14, and I select only one wall. But perhaps there is no "automatic solution" to do that...?

What do you mean by the wall moves? the opposite wall?

Maybe you should put in a layer with a different group number.
Like the pict, so they do not intersect.

Marcus Scott : by "the wall moves" I mean when you drag the hotspot, all the wall move, not only the point, and the wall become too long.

Cartann : I thought about that too, but it takes a lot of time (and a lot of layers !) for all a building...

Nevertheless thank you for your answers

Make sure you are using the "move node" option in your pet palette and not the "drag" option.

You shouldn't need to do this.

You just need to model the walls as you want them to be.
The problem is as soon as two walls touch they will trim as you have seen.
If you can't move the node then (might just snap back to the corner) then you can trim the wall.

In the floor plan select the wall that you want to stop short.
You must have the wall tool active to do this so if it isn't already the active tool then select the wall tool.
Now CTRL click on the side of the other wall where you want the selected wall to stop.
The wall will split in two and the short overlapping section should be highlighted.
Just delete it.
Done.

Barry.

USING ARCHICAD 15

move this point to the outer side of the wall and it worked for me.
good lukc.

Learning many alternative solutions is always beneficial. Without knowing more about the intended use, I would support
Paolo [cartann]'s solution; placing the walls on different layers with different whose layer intersection numbers do not match, That's what it is feature is for.

That said changing both the surface materials and the fill(s) used in the inside of the will also keep the walls from cleaning up in 2D and 3D. Just don't use the "Intersect" edit on them.
