JOINING TWO WALLS

[ChiefPat971]

Good morning,

 

I am testing this software and when creating walls I am having difficulty joining two walls of different types.

 

Here are images that speak for themselves.

 

 

 

How can I join the two walls please?

Thank you for your help.

I would start by only having the Blocks Running layers as the Main Layer.

There are a couple of other settings that could be coming into play as well.

It might make it easier if you post a plan so that we can test it out.

Hi,

 

If I put only the layer of plaster and move it to the right place it disappears.

It's the same materials for the coating.

Hi,

 

Well done, you found where the error came from.

 

 

Well done boss. I would not have exploited Exterior Layers, Main Layers & Interior Layers like this.

should really just be the block layer in the main layer, the rest should go to exterior or interior layers

@ChiefPat971What these gentlemen are saying is that you’re working too hard at your testing.  Chief works beautifully when you understand it.  It appears that you’ve interpreted “exterior” and “interior” layers to be only the outer visible surface materials, and all else to be the main layer.  The main layer should be only those things that make up the structural thickness of the walls.  In this case, just the block itself; not the insulation, plaster, etc. that is applied to the structural block.  The sprayed on insulation, air gap, interior and exterior material coatings, paint, etc. are all part of the inner and outer layers, inconsequential to the structure itself.  If you design your walls that way, things will work out much better.
