Lines in composite walls

Is there a way to get rid of the extra material line where my composite walls join(see image)? This is mainly an issue where my exteriors meet my interiors. My material intersection settings are in the correct priority. Last project I made a fill and covered each one. That can't be the only option?!

 

Thanks!

I appreciate the help so very much!

Ideally you want all of the reference lines to intersect at one point.

 

Off the top of my head I am not sure if this will work, without me setting up similar walls and testing it myself.

Try to offset the ref line of one wall so they are all intersecting at the same position.

Then it should be just a matter (I hope) of junction order as in your first post.

If you use the 'Modify Wall Reference Line' settings, then the ref line will move without moving the wall.

If you change it in the wall settings, the wall will move and the ref line will stay where it is - then you will have to move the wall.

Hi,

Barry's solution works.

In case you don't want to change the ref. line position of the exterior walls you can offset the ref. line of the interior wall with a negative number.

Negative offset move the ref. line outside the wall base so you can place it anywhere you want (see attach).
