Slabs and Curves

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm having trouble creating a solid connection, meaning where the slab disappears into the wall of vice versa. The problem occurs when I create a curved slab, and it conjoins with a curved wall. I'm pretty sure that the centers of each curve (arc) are the same. But when I create the section, they never line up. But each have the same radius, and everything else the same. So I'm wondering is there something I'm doing wrong, or is there a setting that needs to be turned on or off. If anyone could help with this problem, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd like to have this fixed, so that I won't have to cover the mistake with a simple fill.

Sincerely,

Andrew

The faces of curves don't always mate up cleanly despite having the same radius. The curves are are modeled as smoothed polygons and the resolution and/or starting point may not match up. The simplest fix may be to overlap them and use SEO. Either add or subtract will work.

It helps to know your version of AC and what OS your are using.

This is what you want if using AC 11. 10 and 12 will also have SEO
