Hidden walls cross over visible walls

Anonymous

Maybe someone already has this figured out but I find it a little frustrating why some of my walls seem to be chipped. For instance, I have 2 types of wall, 1 (E) wall to be removed and 1 (E) to remain. In one viewset, I hide the (E) to be removed. But where the 2 wall types cross, there is an empty space, like the selected wall in the attachment.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Change the intersection priority setting within the layer dialog, then be sure to update the layer combination. This means the walls on different settings will be calculated individually to check intersection etc. Do the same for the layer combo with removed walls turned on, ie change priority of walls off. See attachment.

Tip for next time - this has been mentioned elsewhere in forum, try a search first if possible (bit of a trap for young players...)

In my situation, both of the wall types are assigned to number "1" priority in both layer combinations. So I don't think it's an intersection priority issue - which I am aware of.

Sorry, I am a newbie, and my search for certain topics before hadn't been too fruitful so I stopped. Any tips on searching more efficiently?

Thanks,

If they are both set to 1 you need to set removed walls layer to 2, then they will be calculated separately.
