Problem with lines in elevations

Hello everyone,

 

I am new here - first post - but I am experiencing some issues I can't solve on my own.. When two walls (composite and complex meet, a strange line appears in the elevation between them. Both walls have the same plaster material and are perfectly aligned, but the line still shows up in the elevation and I can’t seem to remove it. Also is there a way to intersect corners at 45 degrees because the way it is now creates a whole set of problems.

I would prefer not to convert the elevation into a drawing, because when I do that some of the dimensions disappear, and I would like to keep the elevation linked to the model.
Has anyone experienced this before or knows what might be causing it?

Thank you very much! Btw I am using archicad 26.

Hi @KorniliaP 

Are the reference lines on both walls aligned, or are they in the same position (Ex. outside face)?

There may be also a slight misalignment between the two walls.

Is that a Wall End?

Try using one as an operator on the other.

make sure your walls are aligned and orthogonal. even being off by 1/128" or less, .0000001º will add a line.

 

from your screen shot, though, it may be as simple as setting your half wall as an operator, the full walls as a target and running an SEO with no extrusion. or redefine the wall junction order, so that the walls that are || have a higher junction order than the one that is perpendicular... but that may have unintended fall-out in your floor plan appearance.

How do those walls look in plan?

I am suspecting there is a thin skin on the outside?
