adashmore Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'm new to X6 having come from A4 and noticed that the cursor has a icon tag beside it which changes from time to time and I'm unfamiliar with why it's there and how to change it. Currently my cursor is showing a connect walls icon tagged to it. I cannot seem to change it and am wondering why it's there. It appears to be affecting the performance of other tasks, perhaps because it wants me to search and connect walls. Can anyone help me with this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_Park Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 It is indicating that Chief thinks there is a bad wall connection somewhere. Look for a circle indicating the connection that Chief thinks is bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 New feature added to this version. That particular appearance means you have two or more walls that are not connected. Such cursor attributes indicate particular trancient conditions until that condition is altered or corrected. There are several such conditions indicaed by the cursor appearance.

ckirste Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I just installed X6 on a new computer and opened an X5 file as my first usage of X6. I also have this cursor tag (connect walls). I can't find any place in the plan that shows this problem condition. How do I find where this error is occuring? Is there a way I can "check for errors"? Thanks, Cait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Cait, The bad connections should be indicated by a circle, but you need to be on the correct floor. Have you checked all floors in your plan? You can fix ALL the connections in the plan by going Build...Walls...Fix Wall Connections. The Fix Wall Connections on the Edit toolbar only does one individual connection at a time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaehmer Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I have a similar issue. It is the "rebuild walls/floors/ceilings" icon that shows up by the cursor. Right now I have a hot key set for it so I can have it rebuild quickly. Isn't there a way to automatically set it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckirste Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Thanks Glennw. It's a single story house, so I didn't think to look at the attic. That worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
