2 composite wall connection

Hi! Im having some weird behaviour between 2 composite walls that i would like to see if someone can help me understand:

 

I have 2 types of composite walls. When i connect Type A wall to type B, it works fine below the green line. As soon as i displace it above the green line, it snaps out of the connection and does not ant to connect properly to type B composite wall.

 

any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Z

Hi,

That is because in the 2nd case, the reference line (blue line) can "attach" to the reference line of the vertical wall. In the first instance, they are almost overlapping so Archicad doesn't know which composite takes precedent.

A workaround I see would be to use the wall end tool on the vertical wall, I have tried and it intersects "correctly"

Cool workaround CosminF - and you are right about the ref lines needing to collide for clean intersection.  You could also adjust the reference line into a better position when you edit the complex profile.
