Hi Paul,

Easy:

Walls join when their Reference Lines connect.

To check that, open the On Screen View Option Palette, and activate the Walls reference lines ( see Pic)

In the example below you will find the two examples.

In case their reference lines are touching, there might be something else, like layers in different priorities.

hope this helps.

paulandrew:

Try adjusting the length of the wall with the bath's door so it is shorter and ends at the sink's wall reference line. Also confirm that the two walls are on the same layer (so they have the same Layer Intersection Group number).

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
