Wall intersection

Anonymous
Not applicable
When I am drawing foundations, line types of walls that are being intersected are not shown as they should. I will attach a screenshot of the situation i am facing. I have tried using intersect tool, changing junction order of the walls etc. nothing works. Any help would be appreciated...

Do you mean the lack of external line at the corners?
If so check your wall composite settings to see if you have the end line turned on.

Yes it is about the lack of external line at the corner. I checked the composite wall setting, everything is turned on.

I noticed when I removed the colums, lines at the end of the intersected walls came back to normal.

Maybe something regarding the skin wrapping around columns?

I noticed when I removed the Columns, lines at the end of the intersected walls came back to normal.

The reason it works this way is because Columns cut their own geometry out of Walls, so there is actually no Wall surface at the side of the Column coinciding with the side of the Wall. If you select only the Wall and display it in 3D, you will see the holes cut into them by Columns.

To achieve the graphic you wish to, you could move your Column towards the interior of the Wall by a minuscule amount, like 0.1 mm. It will not cause any problem with dimensioning (Dimensioning accuracy is not that great), but now there will be a 0.1 mm thick Wall around that side of the Column and so the Wall outline will be drawn.
This of course is a hack, do it only if you feel comfortable with it.
