Problem with Low height Wall

[Anonymous]

Hi
I have recently faced a problem with a low height wall. During design, we need to draw & intersect low height walls of different height. The intersection lines between this wall are very important. Without those lines, Mason can't build those walls properly.

In my case, I intersected a 6" Wall with a 2.5' wall. I got the output very wrong every time. Then I tested the same thing with different combinations. (See Fig1)
- By changing the orientation (See Fig-2)
-By changing the Wall Type
-By changing the MVO
-By changing Graphic Override

But unfortunately each and every time I found the result wrong.
I have drawn the expected result in Fig 1
Can you please share your experience or suggestion with this issue.

Unfortunately different height walls do not show the edges you expect when they automatically trim with another wall.
You will have to force the trim where you want it.

I have followed ur instruction. (See Fig-1)
But the result is still the same. Can you please be more elaborative.

Try changing the horizontal tall walls reference lines to center, then break all the vertical short wall segments and align them with the edges of the horizontal walls.
Hope this helps.

I should have said that the reference lines can not touch - otherwise it automatically trims again.
You need to create the gap between the reference lines so the walls don't think they are touching.


So in this example it wont work for a short wall on the left.
You would have to move the reference line of the vertical wall to the centre away from the edges.
Then the short walls can touch either side - cut them back if they automatically trim as explained before.
