Wall intersection help?

proto
Advocate

I'm getting these weird intersections between walls with the exact same makeup. This one is very basic as an example.

Structure: same (basic)

Material: same (concrete)

Thickness: same

Wall complexity: vertical

Top link: same

Home story: same 

Reference line: same

Layer: same

What can I check to resolve these oddities?

Thanks for any guidance!

yes, that's the source of the problem, wall should not overlap vertically on the same Reference line position

check if there is another wall that intersect with them or share the same reference line axis with one of them

There is a complex wall above that shares a reference line in plan position only.

The lower bounds of the upper complex wall has been dragged to overlap the top of the wall so that the materials interact in section.

Is this the source of my weirdness?

what are people doing to resolve this condition?

 

i thought i was using the interaction correctly to get the sectional relationship correct

 

is it enough to define the lower wall ref line as "inside core" just to get the two ref lines apart?

that depends on the situation , can you share clear screenshots of what you want to achieve please ?

What makes sense to me from an assembly perspective:

Foundation wall defined by outside core face

Framed wall above is defined by outside face of framing (outside core)

Framed floor runs to outside face of framed wall, using top of sheathing.

(I should add the ref line for the plate/rim is the outside face where the two come together in the profile. So that's another ref line along that plane of outside face of wall framing)

OK, that works

 

I flipped the reference line of the lower foundation walls to inside core as a test, and the intersections now resolve
