New and Existing - how to show "end" line when end to end

[rob2218]

see attached.
we need to indicate that "end" line condition to distinguish when "new" meets "existing".
I cannot change the justification of the wall planes either...they MUST have the same reference line (the framing skin).

The only way I know of is to place the walls in different layers that have different intersection priority numbers so they don't join with each other.

So duplicate your wall layer and make sure it has a different IP number to the original.
Make sure this new wall layer gets turned on in all the layer combinations that the original layer is turned on for.

Yeah....that's a hangup.
if you miss ONE and only ONE layer combo, low and behold THAT will the be the layer combo the bossman says...."you messed up".

Geez....if there was only a way to just tell the ends of the new walls to distinquish themselves from the ends of the "existing" walls or vice versa.

Have you tried Wall Settings > Floor Plan and Section > Outlines > Wall End Lines (Both, Start, End, None)? Works here in AC19.

But is that because you have the 'Clean wall & beam intersections' option turned off?
The reference lines and end lines will show as in your image when this option is turned off.

I have both wall ends on and I don't see them on joining walls in 19 either unless I turn that option off or use 2 layers with different intersection priority numbers.

Yes, I too have the "both" wall ends on...and I get nothing as well.

[rob2218]

where is this "clean wall and beam intersection" setting?
Also...will it not then cleanup the walls it's suppose to clean up?

VIEW menu > On Screen Options.

It will stop all wall and beam connections so you corner junctions will not trim.

Geez....well that's not good.
I just need the "ends" to not clean up when a "NEW" wall meets and "EXISTING" wall.....you'd think it be some setting pretty obvious but I can't seem to locate where that is.
