Wall Intersection Query

Peggie
Contributor

Hello everyone, 

 

I am wondering if you could please enlighten me what other factors beside 'Intersection Priority' can effect materials and walls not to intersect properly. 

 

I have two files open of the same project (one newer than the other slightly by a day), with the exact same Building Materials 'Intersection Priority' but I'm having walls being intersected which I don't want them to be and struggling to ensure they don't clash.

 

I've tried moving everything forward/back, references lines, changing building material.etc. Also, moving the wall out 1mm (not working but not an option).

I've also tried copy and wasting the elements from the old file into the new, but it's pasting with same issues therefore I think it's a setting in the file.

 

Any idea's on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

 

For content, it's mainly on making multiple pivot panel doors in walls and they all seem to have adopted the same problem. 

 

Thanks in advance!

If you don't want the walls to intersect, you have to put them in different layers with a different 'layer intersection group number' e.g. 1 & 2.
Note that the layer intersection group number is also stored in the layer combination.

Walls in different renovation filters can also affect how they intersect.
