Another wall intersection question

[Anonymous]

I know this has been discussed before, but I can't find a solution for my seemingly simple problem.
Working in Archicad 16, I have this problem - see attached image
I have 3 complex walls as shown on the left. The numbers are skin priorities, with 8 being the core structure and the others being finishes.
The walls with insulation are the same complex wall preset, and the wall with empty space has the same thickness and the materials are the same as on the others, except for the empty space in the middle.
How can I make them intersect like in the drawing on the right?

Maybe this is good?

Still can't make it work.
I was trying using the Profile Manager, not Composites. But I tried with Composites now and it still doesn't intersect as I'd like.
Maybe I don't understand your drawing right.

Edit:
I got it to work by using the Profile Manager and not having all 3 walls intersecting in the same point. basically I moved the horizontal wall lower.

Does anyone have a more elegant solution?

don't make a 3 wall joint. instead move ahead the joint between the insulated and non insulated wall a little bit.

The joint along walls will not give you a line where it changes from one cut fill to another. so you will have to add a little 2D line to fine tune the drawing.

Try that... ( See pic)

That's nice, but I'd prefer to avoid 2d lines for this.
I found another solution - I kept everything as it was but I checked "Enable Skin Priorities" for these 3 walls. Everything looks perfect on the plan, but I have a problem on the elevation - there's a visible line where the vertical walls meet.

Good.
Remember always to check Skin priorities, otherwise priorities won't take place.

To avoid the line on elevation, try the junction as I'm showing in the last post, that doesn't have that problem.

A cheat to eliminate 3-way wall intersection lines:

Drop a small 20 x 20mm column at the intersection with the same material/fill as the exterior wall skin.
