and intersections. Along with InInconsistency
I’ve changed the Layers Intersection Priorities until
I’m blue in the face, (see image for other color).
Check and rechecked the fill priorities in the C.P.Wall dialog.
Re-read Cecilia’s excellent post:
Re-read AC12 Manual page, 228 reading Wall intersection 2D display.
But somehow I’m just not getting it no matter how I rearrange wall directions, Wall
Priority groups, fill priorities values and on and on it seems.
By now my head is spinning and no “head-wrap” is happening.
More specific settings info in attached image.
Yes I know some of shown intersections are done wrong but even the ones I think I
have right are not working as I think they should except for the upper right (10-8 skins)
passing through the 8-8 skins.
Also read Rod’s older excellent post:
My FPCP is set to 4’ (and my C.P. walls are 8’) so cut should not allow different plate fills to cause problem?
So Please; What black magic am I missing?
Current AC build and Library.
Can’t there just be button that says: “just make it so” for this saved view?
In other words, for when multiply dialogs control certain view settings can’t AC know this and
provide a special dialog box with all the required settings you will need for stated effect?
An intelligent data base kinda thing?
Enable Skin Priorities
Hey Lec,
Let's see if we can sort out this mess you're in!
Firstly, the layer intersection number works as an on/off switch - they either do intersect if the LIGN is the same, or they don't. In your case you
Secondly, you are experimenting with the
Thirdly, all your walls should have the same
Now all the other settings are equal, your skin priorities should behave predictably and correctly.
As Brandon has pointed out, the main problem is that your horizontal wall has the same intersection number throughout. Give the core a higher number than the 'finish' and it should work fine. Give your vertical walls the same settings and everything will join beautifully.
Try using the guide in Archibens post here as the basis for any new profiles and composites, and you'll find it should work in the majority of cases.
Good luck!

Yes, what a convoluted test subject Frankenstein I created.
At one point I thought the creation would walk out the building and the world would be doomed.
However, thanks to all who provided guidance, the doors are locked.
The creature has been contained!
But, as you might notice by my updated image all walls on the top are responding as expected. The bottom walls however, I have intentionally left the finish fills at a lower priority than the horizontal for test purposes.
But lo and behold the 6's cut through the 8's, which they should not, right?
And to address the issue of reference line touching, I intentionally ran one of the lower walls up and one wall down from horizontal wall with no apparent change in the clean up.
So what gives with that?
ps:
As I now start to analyzes where my logic went south.
I think what got me off to a wrong foot was my "assumption" or some kind of verbiage somewhere implied that skins only applied to finish, not core and then all hell broke loose!
