Proper graphic for walls joining?

I have an existing wall joining a new wall and for the life of me I cant get them to show in plan properly.  The attached image is what keeps showing.

What is the trick?

Thanks

Hi Ivan,

for me it looks that you might have two things happening here:

  1. There is some kind of hidden element/object on hidden layer;
  2. There is an object which is higher that cutting line and walls are intersecting with it;
  3. Wall baselines should be changed - try to play with those.

Thanks for the reply. And sorry for my late reply.  I ended up using a masking fill and called it good.

It seems walls often join improperly when not at 90 degrees. But thanks anyway.

It should only be a problem when there are more than 2 walls involved (they can be in hidden layers as I suspect in the image you show).

Usually with more walls involved it can be solved with the junction order or by moving the reference lines around so they do/don't touch other walls.
