Wall Cleanup Question

[JKEdmo]

Good morning,

 

Quick question about wall cleanup behavior.

 

I have 3 exterior wall types coming together in a T condition. 2 same and 1 similar (grey fill):

 

 

They have their main layers defined as outer face of stud.  I select each separately below to illustrate this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

What I don't understand is why the wall cleanup occurs at the middle of the wall and not at the face of studs of the 3 walls.  In other words, my expectation would be the grey solid would stop at the right side where the intersection of the 3 main wall layers occurs and not in the middle of the tee intersection.

 

Your insight would be appreciated.

 

Thanks again,

 

JIm

That's a question only someone at Chief will be able to answer.

 

 

Are you trying to solve a problem, or are you just curious?

 

Eric, I suppose curious if this is "normal" behavior or if I'm doing something wrong.

 

I know about the manual edit layer tool.  So, I know about that fix.

 

I guess I would have expected automatic cleanup to happen at the intersection of main wall layers...

 

Thanks, Jim

Hmmm, I'll rephrase. I guess my question is about how Chief resolves these tee intersections.

 

When my walls are set up with main layers defined like this:

 

 

Why does Chief resolve the intersection like this, with an offset intersection.  The 3 main layer planes do not intersect.

 

 

Is this a quirk or maybe I'm missing something?  If quirk, maybe the question is more for Chief as you said.

 

Thanks,

If you will attach a simple plan with these walls, I'll take a look.

 

Thanks.  I clouded the intersection.  Jim

Thanks for looking.  I'll read up on your tips.
