Edge of wall joined with curved wall

Hello,

Is there a way to get the edge of a straight wall to stay straight when being joined with a curved wall ?

Thanks.

Try adding a short straight wall segment to the end of the straight wall.

 

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Hi @lssthln,

 

You can put any of them on a different layer with different intersection group number then they won’t intersect.

Sure, thanks. 

Maybe I'm too picky but actually I would like them to intersect because they do in reality.

Was wondering if there was a setting that would prioritize the straight edge over the curved wall.

You can use display order function to bring forward or send to back.

obviously but whatever object is in front there will a be line between the walls if they don't join.

Plus this would just affect Plan view and not make my model right

Yes, the reference lines should join.

Looks correct in 3D to me.
