Wall Clean-up

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:55:26 GMT

I cannot for the life of me figure out the issue I am having with the attached wall.

It is on a sight angle from the walls next to it but I have cleaned up every other wall.

If you are wondering why don't I just straighten out the wall I am making a 'curve' through straight sections.

I have checked skin priorities and even made it the exact same wall to fix the issue and it exists.

Any help is appreciated.

And if you didn't think it was bad check out my interior elevation.

It's most likely a reference line issue. See if you can move them around to fix it.

These posts from Onland.info are loosely related, but might provide some inspiration.

Very small angles like that can be problematic. Besides the odd bit here and there like yours I've had the occasional wild join shooting off into the distance. The latter usually involved curved sections though as I recall.

As Jared says, try adjusting the reference lines.

The best way is to use: Design > Wall Extras as they allow you to change the settings while keeping the wall(s) in place.

Wall interactions can get quite tricky (like in the real world). Those links will help getting into some of the more subtle aspects of the art.

Cleaning up the reference lines didn't work in this case, but I have used columns to clean up the wall intersections.
Thank you Jared for the links... I knew I read it somewhere just needed someone to point out the obvious.
