Hi!
We r working on a rehabilitation project, where the existing building has some skewed stone walls.
We are also making an addition to the existing and here is where i cant solve the problem: we have 3 existing walls that are coming together in one point, and from this point on one of the walls is going to be covered with ceramic tile (brick like ceramic tiles) and the new addition keeps going on a new wall made of brick.
The thing is that the 3rd existing wall where i want to change the surface material is merging/blending with one of the adjacent walls, which throws off my attempt to stop the brick material where i want it to stop.
Any ideas?
P.S. Also there is an invisible pilar element in between 2 of the stone walls, in order to make that werid existing inside corner.
Solved! Go to Solution.

This is the junction order I mean.
When more than two wall join with their reference line at one point, you can control which wall trims to which.
Lowering the junction order of the wall with the door (brick ceramic) compared to the 2 plaster wall (keep them the same junction order) should affect how the walls trim to each other.
Although the complex profile might be complicating matters.

Hi,
You could define the narrower wall to have a different building material, with a higher intersection priority than the thicker one. That way, they will not intersect, but they will overlap.
Assign it a different material (or create a new one), go to options - element attributes - building materials
and raise the priority so that the value will be higher than the other one.
Pro tip: keep the element you want to edit selected so that its building material shows highlighted in the list

Have you tried adjusting the junction order of the walls?
Make the one you don't want to tri less than the other two.

Thanks. ill try that. The thing is that the material is the same and i was trying to not duplicate materials unnecessarily, but i will if i have to! 🙂

Hi Barry!
Im trying to figure out what to you mean by "making it less than the other two". Which less value are you referring to?
In plan is showing it correctly, but in reality (3D) its merging.

By the way, its actually a complex profile, its just that im using Override on that printscreen view i showed to you.
Does that mean i would have to also make the plaster a new material as well(with higher intersection priority) so that it doesnt intersect with the other wall's plaster?
Cheers,
Z
