Walls are intersected but hatches do not meet

Hello, 

I am facing an issue when intersecting composite walls.

I am drawing 2 walls meets at the corner, outside this wall there is a facade belt course element.

As you can see on image 1, the reference lines of the walls are joined ( i used intersect tool ), Clean wall & beam intersections is turned on, Walls are on same level , and has same height. Also i tried changing intersection priority also junction order. But bizarrely the walls are on upper corner intersecting without any problem, even tho these all are same walls also course belt is aligned with the wall ( stuck  )

 

On image 2, when i move the belt course element from the walls it intersects perfectly.

I ve tried many things still couln't figured it out

 

Please help if you faced this problem

Thanks

Hi @bebayaraa,

You can try modifying the walls' reference line location (without moving the walls).

I find that some times when there are these type of connections Archicad is overly helpful and wants to intersect everything...

But if you modify the location of the refence lines, you can bring the corner intersection closer to the interior face, thus committing the reference lines intersection at the corner before they reach the belt course.

Hope it helps 🙂

 

Cheers!

If what you call the belt course is a wall, then it is trying to intersect with other walls it touches.

Swap the reference line to the outside or place it in a layer that has a different intersection group number to the layer the main walls are in.

Then it won't trim to the main walls, but they will still trim each other.

 

Or use a beam for the belt course (I would call it a dado).

Hello,

Its working thank you very much

Hello,

Its working too,  thank you very much

In my opinion, this is the fastest way instead of figuring our preference lines for each walls.
