Wall End refuses to clean up

Rene Pahlavan
Enthusiast

Not sure how to solve this or why it is happening. All the interior walls are cleaning up well in plan except for this one junction (see attached picture). Same layer, same junction order, and I have played around endlessly with the reference lines, and still, there is a line appearing at the junction. If I move the wall more to the left, the line disappears; but close to that corner, I cannot get rid of it.

Got it, although I don't think this should have an effect (i.e. bug?).

The same skins should still merge.

 

The difference with the new composite I made is I didn't set the outer skins to 'finish' or 'other'.

They were all 'core'.

Hi,

I can't tell you why it is doing it but if you flip the horizontal wall so the ref line is at the top it should fix it.

The 2010 workaround should still work:

Hi Todd-- 

 

I accidentally accepted your response as the solution - but it is not. Like I said, I have tried every reference line scheme, and all this one does is make the exterior concrete/furred wall act strangely too (the vertical wall keeps going even when intersecting with the horizontal one i.e. this corner doesn't clean up correctly either

). See below:

Nifty trick Eduardo! Thanks for the link. 

 

I have composite walls, so setting the column to be the same material as the wall is not an option in this case. However, I did the experiment of converting the composite walls to basic structure, and the problem goes away then.  I wouldn't accept this as a solution.

This is why you will use a composite column to solve this kind of case.

You can create a composite column by defining a marquee around the problematic junction and copying to the complex profile.

Now is it acceptable? 😉

They are the same Composite right? And there is no wall overlapping from above or below?

Hi RP, I guess you have also tried getting the reference lines on both walls to line up exactly using numerical offsets ? I haven’t tested it myself yet but I would try that option to see if it may work ?

Composite Column? Do you mean a Complex Profile Column Eduardo? There is no way to create a Composite Column that I know of. 

Also, how do you define a 'marquee' around the junction? The onland.info instructions refer to a creating a fill  over the problematic intersection to create the profile - but again, this is in a basic structure.

I did it again - accidentally accepted your solution Lingwisyer. 

 

Yes they are both the same Composite walls and there is nothing over or below overlapping.
