Hi every one i am tracing file from dwg file(autocad) while i am tracing it some of walls did not close on each other although i picked up the same setting so cut fill will be the same and height will be the same and i used command fill to close it manually but no use any idea on how to deal with this situation ?

This could be due to slight inaccuracies in the DWG. I've found that 2D CAD drawings are often drawn "good enough" for print but without the precision needed for accurate modeling.

The reference lines must touch each other to clean up. It looks like that may not be the case in your screenshot where you have 3 walls intersecting. Stretch the one, or use the Adjust command. (When you have two walls that are not cleaning up, select both and use the Intersection command.)

Ahmed,
listen to Karl´s advice about Reference lines. An example:
Not so fast. There may be some other reasons why those walls won't clean up. He may need to flip some reference lines around.
There is the possibility that a real and constructible configuration of walls may not clean up.

Can you clean up this simple connection ?




The reference lines can all touch and it still will not always clean up.

Reference lines to be into the same point.

Yes. Exactly my point. He may have to move some reference lines arround to get a good up. Just having all three reference lines touching will not always do the job. Some times you can clean up three walls with only two reference lines touching.
