the Wall connections problem

I'm having trouble keeping proper connection between 3 walls with differing finishes. The connection pictured on the left should not behave like this because of priority of building materials. Junction order is equal, changing it makes it only get bugged in different way. The junction on the right is what I'm aiming at - but it's only 2 walls.

Also - wall heights are the same and no connections above or beneath.

it's all about reference line location and bMat priority. Put the reference line on the inside face of core for the horizontal wall

thanks. Pretty sure I tried all the reference line positions. But will try it tomorrow.

if you can send me a .mod of the walls, I'd be happy to test it out and fire it back to you tomorrow some time... I've done a few blog posts on it and had several training sessions. It's one of those things that can be super finicky... sometimes you need to force an offset that is even OUTSIDE the wall thickness to get it clean. https://wwabim.wordpress.com/2019/11/15/wall-junction-trouble-shooting/

That would be very much appreciated! This has brought the project to a bit of a standstill until I find a solution.

I will prepare the file later today and send you a download link.
