Composite wall intersection

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have a composite wall intersection problem as shown on the attached pdf.
- the walls are on different layers but all the layers have the same intersection group number
- skin priorities are enabled
- the blue line marks the walls reference line
- skin priority numbers are marked with blue
- all skins that should intersect have the same name / fill etc.

My questions:
a - at the intersection between W1, W2, W3 why skin's from W1 appear on the other side of wall W2 - how to solve this
b - W3, W4, W5 intersection - I would expect W3 -2 skin to intersect with W4 - 2 skin and also W3-12 with W4-12 -what could be the problem?
Thanks for the help!

mentan,

T connections are dificult. Try to set the Walls like that from my example.

Thanks, but what do you mean by "end line color" and "wall line color", IP stand's for what?

Settings for Composite Walls:
"end line color".....Skin End Line Pen
"wall line color".....Skin Separator Line Pen

IP..........................Intersection point for the Wall Reference Lines

Intersections of composite wall components are surely one of the most annoying features of Archicad. They've got more complicated with each version. Now, the renovation options add another layer of complexity because intersecting lines completely disappear when they they are covered with a default obscuring fill when certain renovation options are selected.

Oh, if only Archicad features were designed by commercial profit making users instead of very clever computer boffins!
