Hey all,
I am sure I am just not understanding something, missing something or doing something wrong, but every time I extend one end of my internal beam to the edge beam, it extends the other end by itself. What I am wanting, is to have the ends of the internal beam, touching, not overlapping, the inside edge of the edge beam. But it only wants to do this on one end, then it extends and overlaps on the other end by itself, this causes it to be visible in elevation, meaning I need to hide it with a cover fill. I also don't want them to intersect, as this causes the internal beam to bleed through in elevation (cuts a hole in the edge beam), again, I need to hide it with a cover fill. To prevent them from joining I have set the intersection group number for my internal beams layer to 2, and my edge beam number is 1.
Please see the first picture, in this case, I joined the bottom end of the internal beam (the vertical member in the picture) to the inside edge of the edge beam. Then I extended the top end of the internal beam to the upper edge beam. Then the bottom end of the internal beam extended itself to overlap the edge beam, when I readjust this end, the other end extends itself, like a mean game hahaha.
As a temporary work around I have set the internal beams off the edge beams by 1mm. But I know I am missing something and there is a faster (and better) way, I just can not work it out, can anyone help? Either by stopping this automatic extension, or by stopping the internal beam from bleeding through the edge beam, as shown in my second picture attached, when the beams intersect.
Thank you.
Chris.
