Hi!
Im modeling a project and I came up with a few questions that I have not been able to solve: I have two composite walls that intersect in a corner at 90°. The first wall consists of a load bearing core and a layer of insulation, the second wall is just insulation. They both have an exterior finishing layer. The issue comes when the load bearing material of the first wall does not go all the way through the insulation of the second wall. Both materials, load bearing and insulation have the same priority to allow this situation. For now I have covered unwanted lines or missing fills with 2D. Is there a more "direct" way to achieve the wanted result without needing to draw on top of it? a way to maybe stop the load bearing layer of the composite and keep going with the insulation of the first wall so it intersects correctly with the insulation of the second wall?
Please find attached a few screenshots that help clarify the explanation.
Thank you very much in advance!

I notice the reference line of your right hand wall isn’t merged with the reference line if the left hand wall. This could be contributing potentially?
From the looks of your red markup you only what the load bearing wall to partially cut the insulation of the left way. By default Archicad won’t do that. It’s either cut the whole skin or not. However you could trick it by creating two insulation skins on your left wall composite. The first being the thickness you want the load bearing to cut, the second being the thickness that would wrap around the end. You could turn off the skin separator line too. Potentially they may need separate building materials with differing priorities though.
