Wall intersections

[capitaldesigns]

I'm new to Chief, I'm using X-8

 

I have just started drawing the wall on a new plan. I'm getting extra lines at the wall intersections.

I've looked at other drawings that I have worked on and these line do not show up in those drawings.

 

I have attached the plan. Does anyone know why these extra wall line are showing up at the wall

intersections and how do I get rid of them ?

 

Thanks,

Go into your Layers and uncheck Walls,Through Wall Lines layer

Thanks Larry. That worked.

 

Question. When would I want that layer displayed in the drawings?

 

Thanks again,

You might want those lines if you were particular about how you wanted certain walls constructed.  In the wall's Structure tab is a heading titled Wall Intersections.  That setting decides how your walls will be constructed. 

 

For example, the 2 rooms in the attached image are identical.  One is displaying framing and one is not so you can see what is happening with the wall intersections.  The wall at the top is set to "Through Wall At Start" and "Through Wall At End".

Thanks Mike for showing that to me. I had no idea that we this kind of control over the wall framing.

It looks like I have a lot to learn about this program. 

 

Thanks again,
