(Picture shows an internal wall joining a cavity wall on the corner).
Im thinking perhaps the wallend tool might be usefull in a case like this?
Flipping a wall in Archicad.....that should be a wish on the wishlist.... of course it would be copying Revit..... 
Revit has little arrows you can click to move stuff around or side to side, doors, walls, windows, etc.....
The only way I can figure on doing it in Archicad is mirroring it.....
As for the intersections, that is a pain to have that line when you have a wall intersecting another wall of different height or base elevation.
I will have to try searching for that "patch" as well...

Just do your studying proprly, guys. If you don't know that soemthing exists, that does not mean it does not.
No, I am not going to tell you where it is. As Woddy The Patch

I wish there was a feature to "Flip" the wall... So the wall stays in the same place, but the reference side moves.....

I don't want to appear like I am passing you a shovel to dig that hole any deeper Woody, but are you going to try and convince us that fragments are our best friend too?
First, yes, fragments are our friends. Fragments, for example, enable us to have a 2D symbol increase in level of detail as the scale increases. Fragments give us lots of ways to represent an object under differing circumstances; error messages like Invalid Parameters are made possible by Fragments.
Now, back to patches, let's talk about the simplest case first; how much time has Nefarious (and Nafarious I am NOT singling out you; many, many users do this) wasted trying to get this to work? It is not going to work. Further he's going to run into this condition many times in this project; is he supposed to waste more time playing around with fills every time he comes across it? No. Make a patch once, move on and get the project done.
Two, (another example) like to represent below ground walls as dashed lines in elevations? Trace the ground plane with the Marque tool and enclose the rest of the foundation within the fence
Create a patch
Open said patch
Select all the lines
Change them to dashed lines
Save the changes
DONE!
I can actually do this in ArchiCAD in a shorter period of time than it took me to type these instructions
The foundation changes? So what? this is so fast it really doesn't matter. Next, consider the advantages of using Patches in detailing. By the way, I've got a bunch of wishes attached to this concept as well — like consider how powerful this would be if annotation tools and objects were available while working on a Library part (there are some work arounds here too).
Library parts can be organized in folders and the parts themselves are small — Patches are parts. So one could have a folder for Sill Details, for example. When one is looking for a Sill detail, they go to the Object dialogue box and get little thumbnails of all the available sill details; very COOL.
As I originally said... stop thinking of the Patch tool as a work around and you will think of lots of very powerful applications! These are just a small number of the possibilities.

But flipping the wall really does not solve the original problem being discussed here

Sorry Woodster, Nefarious mentioned about wanting to flip a wall.....besides the intersection problem...... I was going to post a pic from Revit, but I decided not to (use Revit at day job, lost bid to get Archicad)
So you use Revit at work but ArchiCAD on your own jobs?Woody
Still looking?
