Walls not cleaning up after accepting a design option

I have been having a recurring issue across multiple project files where, after completing an "accept and merge" for a design option, the merged elements won't clean up. They won't intersect with each other or the rest of the model, which happens in both plan and 3D.

Are the elements in the same layers?

Do they have the same renovation status?

Yes, the elements are all on the same layer and they are all have the same renovation status. The issue is specifically triggered by the accept and merge function. Relinking the items to the main model from their option set allows them to clean up normally.

Are they trimming before the 'accept & merge'?

They should do and it should be no different after you merge.

 

Could you maybe show a few screen images?
