Complex profiled wall intersection problem

Anonymous
Not applicable
I just cant understand the reason for which archicad can or can not
intersect complex profiled walls. Either on the plan window the walls are intersecting good.

I've tried multiple core profiles and also i have merged them to one fill
and changed only skin material to represent different materials (such as rubber)


PS: Several times i have made such complex profiled walls good, and it was intersecting right. but now again cant do this

Could be one of two things I can think of quickly.

1. your wall reference lines cross rather than ending at one node in the corner.

2. the layer you have the walls in has a 0 (zero) intersection priority number in the layers dialogue.

the wall priority is set to "2" for all complex profile elements and to walls itself
walls in plan were drawn as a rectangle. so its endpoints are intersect accurately.

I suppose the problem may be hidden:
- in many different materials of profile
- in complexity of the profile shape...

But i was making an incredible complex profile walls with different materials in it.

I wasn't meaning the wall priority but the layer intersection priority.
Two very different things.
