Hi Can someone please tell how to stop my wall doing this?
The wall cuts right through the wall it meets, when i want it just to stop where it connects.

cheers

The vertical wall (that you want to stop) needs to use a Building Material with an Intersection Priority weaker than the horizontal wall. Or if the walls are on different layers, the layers need different Layer Intersection Group numbers and then use Display Order to change their relationship.

Hi David,
Thanks for the reply,
Both walls are on the same layer and i have tried to adjust the junction order but to no avail.
Can you explain how i adjust the intersection priority of the wall material please.
Many thanks Paul

It is not the Junction Order, which is a Wall Setting. You need to open the Building Materials dialog box and adjust the Intersection Priority for the Building Material used in one (or both) of the Walls. In the Help files see: User Interface Reference > Dialog Boxes > Building Materials Dialog Box.
