Inconsistent hatching for walls intersection in plan.

Gisele

Attached are two screenshots showing walls with same reference lines but with inconsistent hatching.

How to address this?

Just throwing this out there as no one else has mentioned it.

Check the junction order of the walls - they should all be the same.

 

But that is probably not it.

I would suspect as others have mentioned, there may be something else in a hidden layer that is interfering with the walls.

 

Select just those walls and drag a copy away from the model.

If they suddenly trim OK then that is it.

Start by looking at your Building Material Intersection Priority

 

I'm not sure if you are also flagging up the fill pattern, but you can edit the Fill Orientation for a Building Material

The issue is how the fill intersect. Attached is a screenshot showing a continuous fill on the right corner but a wrong intersection on the left corner,

If you are sure this isn't a Material Intersection issue e.g. all materials have different priorities, then have you checked the walls are correctly filleted to a single point even a tiny offset/overrun could create such a problem.

I am using the same wall and have filleted them.

AC26 is on build 5002. Are you up to date?

 

Are all walls on the same layer?

Is the Layer intersection for the walls set to anything other than 1?

Have you checked the renovation status of the walls are all the same?

AC26 is on build 5002. Are you up to date? Yes

Are all walls on the same layer? Yes

Is the Layer intersection for the walls set to anything other than 1? The layer is set to 1. 

Have you checked the renovation status of the walls are all the same? All are New Walls.

Hi Gisele,

 

in the first picture you have another line missing on the left side, that is there on the right side. Are those 3 other walls, like trims? Are they on a different layer? It seems like your walls are intersecting with some other elements, too.

"Dragging a copy away from the model" showed that the problem was dure to overlapping walls.

Thank you!
