How to get correct connections with tilted walls?

[Anonymous]

Hi!
I'm having problems with getting correct connections when using tilted walls. I have tried using tilted composite wall and I have tried using complex profiles to make the tilt, but the connections will not work properly. The walls are tilted 87, 90, 92, 95 and 96 degrees.

How can this be solved? - or can it?

Thanx!

Thank you for your answer and efforts!

We first modeled this project in ArchiCAD 16 and had no problems with the connections... then we decided to do it in ArchiCAD 17 and the problems started...

It seems I now have two solutions:
1 - stack a lot of low walls on top of each other in every story
2 - switch on 'Use legacy intersection methods for model elements' in Project Preferences (as shown in the screen dump)

I'm not sure what is the best solution - none of them are perfect - but the 'Legacy' option can be turned on and off depending on what kind of drawing I'm producing...



Thanks!

Turning Legacy mode on is probably the best option.
Legacy mode means connections will behave as it did in 16 and before which is a simple mitre.
With Legacy mode off the corners use Priority Based Connections which means each wall skin will connect with one prioritising over the other - there will be no mitring.

Thank you!

We have also concluded that we go for Legacy mode this time.

Maybe we could have tweaked the priorities of the different skins to control the intersections? - I can't quite foresee the consequences right now...

I had a quick play with earlier and it didn't seem to make a difference.
Must just be the way the new connections join skin by skin.

I had some problems with wall connections in ArchiCAD 17 before (not slanted, but complex profiled ones). Overriding the side material (not based on building materials, but with a chosen surface i.e. interior wall finish) with a surface fixed that bug. A bit weird, but it might work here too.

Thank you for your suggestion.
I tried it, but it didn't work in this case.
Looks like we're stuck in Legacy mode...
