Wall anomolies

Good Morning people, I am very new to Archicad, in fact yesterday was my first day trying to do anything on it. I have attached an image of the problem I am facing.

So I am trying to draw an as built survey of a basement, the walls are not straight at all, so as I am tracing around my dwg I get this weird thing happen to my wall, I have no idea how to fix it. on the 2d floor plan it looks perfectly fine but in 3d it is messed up. could someone please help?

Also I deleted the walls from that section and tried drawing it again and it joined to the wall on the other side (see image).

P.S. I am very green to this, usually only work on 2d cad drawings

Hello,

Did you try to enter a lower value for walls that are not correctly represented in 3D?

Thank you so much for your reply Christophe, but unfortunately if did not fix the problem.
Have you checked the continuity of the reference lines of the walls ?

I do not know quite what you mean, like I said I just started yesterday. If you are asking me if the wall is continuous, no it isn't. I kept drawing it in segment. Simply because everytime I click on another window on my pc what I was drawing kept disappearing.
I mean to check this parameter : "View/Option screen view/Wall and beam reference line"
Can you verify the continuity of your wall reference line

indeed I just checked and it seems to be ok.

I have attached pictures and as you can see the problem is around the red circled areas
I see strange and very small wall segments that may be unable to connect due to lack of sufficient length
These segments are they modeled voluntarily ?

Hello Christophe I appreciate your patience, "voluntarily" I do not understand this term. As I said I just traced over my dwg file which I apploaded. I was wondering if I could just send it to you via "we transfer" and you could have a look at it, maybe there's a setting I'm missing and just tell me how you fixed it, if you can, cause like I said it's my second day with this software. Would that be ok with you?
For sure
Send me
It's a great idea
