Custom Profiles and Wall Intersections in 3D

Anyone else seen a problem like this?

These are walls drawn with a custom profile. Each skin is set to a different priority and "Enable Skin Priorities" is turned on.

The plan looks correct.

Why do the corners not clean up properly?

(those are 3 different corner screen shots composited into 1 image)

Intersection angle had no effect.
Reference lines moved all over, no effect.
They are the same profiles.
Tried the same thing with skin priorities on and off, with no effect.
It is 100% reproducible with every custom profile we have tried, including those from GS. We have not had one profiled wall clean up in 3D yet.
Tom,

Would you be willing to upload the walls as a module file? Maybe it's a version problem? I'm running INT 817 at the moment without any wall healing problems. Either way maybe we could get to the bottom of it.

Cheers,
Link.

My wall clean up as well but I am seeing the issue with window placement. This is seeming like a bit of a mystery. Not the type of mysteries you like to be a part of....

Here you are, Link.

Good luck! I'm about out of ideas.

Yeah, now I can replicate your problem.

Funny thing is though I pasted your walls into another drawing of mine and they still behaved badly. But when I used any of my other profiles they worked fine. If I make a profile the same as your, it works fine.

Maybe it does have something to do with where the original profile was written (o.s.)...

I cannot make it happen as hard as I might try on mine but your profile behaves badly...

I can't find a setting that may be the culprit.

Dunno.

Found the possible problem:
In your custom profile the fills nodes have mistakes. There are overlaping fills, extra nodes and holes between fills. I captured your profile and fixed the fills and it is now cleaning up correctly.

What's really funny is that wall was part of the template from Graphisoft.... Still, I would have expected the profile engine to be a little more robust!

Doors and Windows are behaving correctly. I had to do a merge of your file because I was getting errors on a wa_trim_us10.gsm everytime I inserted a window. I have no idea what it is. After the merge it worked fine.

I can only confirm that Eduardo is right, it's a dodgey fill in the FNDN Conc. 12" w/Brick Ledge complex profile.

Good find mate.
