My First Reall Wall Non-Cleanup Concern

Anonymous
Not applicable
H'lo...
My corner...just this one...is refusing to clean-up..the walls are the same wall, really, and they used to clean up so I don't know what gives. If I apple-I (intersect, right) them, one just LAPS over the other; if I alter the display order, the lapping changes. The only maybe-clue I have is that one of the walls gets three pink edit-dots when I select it, and the other gets but two--perhaps indicative of some other difference? I dunno...quite weird...many thanks, as always, for troubleshooting hints...

probably an extra bit in there to confuse the clean-up
Looks like that to me too.

Always, but ALWAYS use Intersect, or Adjust for T joints, never CTRL click to join walls. Preserves dimensioning, can't create slivers that do things like this.

I get little blips at the ends of lines, walls etc too. It is not an extra piece of wall. I think the issue was with spine wall and footing (wall) interacting.

yup, 'twas the very issue, but good advice from Djordje nevertheless.
I am beginning to have a strong affection for this program.
thanks to all!
