Wall End refuses to clean up

Rene Pahlavan

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.

Yes, thats what I meant and did you try extending the bottom wall up a bit to see if they would snap together correctly to form the junction type that you want ? Should extend it up the same width of your wall. (90mm by the looks or it’s actual width)

two tries - no go mthd:

Ok, try flipping the reference line of the horizontal wall to the opposite side. See if that fixes it ? Then extend that wall out a bit as well. See what happens ?

 

Edit: Also, are those walls on the same layer ?

Yes of course these walls are on the same layer. They also all have the same junction order, are all the same Composite wall, and all the same height and nothing overlapping below or above. 

 

Flipping the reference line of the horizontal wall does not solve the problem - in fact, as mentioned in earlier posts, it affects the exterior concrete wall corner junction (called out in red square below).

Ok, undo that last move above. Extending the horizontal wall out to meet the other walls at the end doesn’t fix it either ? If not, I am all out of options.

 

I am following this post as I would like to see how this problem is actually solved. Walls cleaning up correctly shouldn’t be so difficult to solve. It should be automatic because it wastes much time.

 

I hope Barry can solve it for you. These situations test our patience.

I tried that too mthd. Thanks a lot for your efforts! It's such a little thing, but it bugs me when I cannot clean up things how they should be. Cheers!

Yeah Rene, it bothers me too and I would like to see it solved. All the best now. Cheers !

Thanks.

I really don't get this.

My wall I showed before is fine.

 

Your wall shows for me as it does for you with the line.

I noticed you were overriding the background fill in the floor plan display settings.

I turned that off.

No difference.

 

I copied the settings of your wall and drew my own (on  right of attached image).

That seemed to be OK until I zoomed in/out.

Line would appear and disappear as I zoomed.

Yours stayed the same until I played with the display order.

 

Now yours changes as I zoom in/out as well.

But why don't my composite walls show any lines at all?

Same settings - just different building materials.

Even when I change your composite to be the exact same building materials and pen colours as my composite, there is still a line in your - now no matter how much I zoom.

And all of the reference lines are the same.

I just don't have an answer.
