priority based connections for outside and inside corners

Anonymous

Can someone explain to me the logic behind how to solve intersections at both outside corners and inside corners. I often times have one material that needs to be "strong" in an outside corner and "weak" in an inside corner. Example: Gyp board. It should die into the framing for inside corners. It should also wrap the corner on outside corners. Plywood sheathing is the same way. It should be strong on outside corners and weak on inside corners. How do you do this with one material?

Use two different building materials, one for inside and one for outside just like you would build it.
Doing it this way also allows easier labelling and quantities etc

Another thing to try is to place Complex Profile Beams in the Intersection of the Wall and Slab to solve the situation. Then in the Profile Manager you can define the skins (components) of the Complex Profile to your requirements.

abdelaziz,

Yes, your example does work, but as I see it in Matt's case the Wall's base is lower than the bottom of the Slab.
