Align 3d walls

ELEVATE
Booster

Is there a command (button) that allows you to align walls that are stacked over each other?  (sometimes I find one wall can be rotataed .001 degrees from another wall and it creates a line between the (2) walls.  It would be nice to select the correct wall, then select the other wall to align with the one selected - I  was trying to use the "align to surface constraint", but it appears this is used for something else?  would  like to know how that works too.   -   please see attached snap shot

If the walls are out of rotation, then you have to select a wall and then adjust the position of one of the end nodes on the reference line to match the other wall.

Can be done in plan or 3D.

You may have to then re-trim the length of the wall.

 

It could also be because the top and bottom heights do not exactly match.

Just stretch height in 3D and snap to the other wall.

 

I have never actually used that 'align elements to a surface' construction method, so I am not sure it will help in this case.

But information about it can be found in the help reference ...
