wall setting help

[VHampton]

Attached is a new plan in X-15. I drew a few outer walls and (1) interior. 

 

The exterior siding and sheathing extends into the room despite the int. & ext. walls being aligned. 

 

What exactly is the setting to prevent the siding from bleeding through to the interior?

 

Can't seem to figure this one out.

 

I've tried toggling the wall start and end options. No luck. 

 

 

Thank you in advance.

Your walls are not aligned with center wall.

[VHampton]

hmmm.... I've got them lined up almost perfectly.  

 

Been using CA for over 20 years and this is a first. 

 

Here's the project where I can't stop the siding from coming through.

 

The walls are spot on in terms of sheetrock alignment.

extremely small offset.

[VHampton]

Thank you. 

 

It's strange because I noted that as well.  

 

When in camera view (overhead perspective) that minor 1/8th offset is enough to force the siding to disappear. 

 

So when an outer wall T-bones into the interior walls (at a 3way intersection), I'm trying to figure out which one gets the seniority.

If your are still having issues with your Design plan use the "Edit wall layer intersections" tools

Somtimes the simplest fix is to move the grip handle via the "resize about" control in General Wall Defaults to the inner surface.

Amazing. Thank you Steve! (and William)

 

That was the fix. 

 

Wall control w/ the Inner surface tab.  

This allowed for the perfect sheetrock merge. (per William). 

 

All good. The walls are seamless. Really appreciate the insights.  

 

This one particular plan file has been acting up and it's never happened before. 

 

That's why I posted the out of the box chief plan, since the issue was happening there as well.

I had no issue at all getting the walls to align easily on the OOB plan you attached, because I have all of my snap settings toggled on. The walls align with snaps very easily, without changing any wall settings:

 

Before:

 

Here is the wall being snapped to the other wall:

 

Result:

 

I suspect the real issue is that you're not getting the snap effect, because you have some relevant snap settings disabled in Preferences. Check your snap settings, as no one here can diagnose that issue since Preference settings are global and do not travel with the plan file:

Thank you Chris. Your observation is spot on.

 

I've got every single "snap" setting turn off. 

 

What's deceptive, is that even though the sheetrock looks perfectly aligned on 99% of the plans, often times it's not. 

 

I tend to work extremely fast.

 

When the snap tool is toggled off, this allows the mouse flow and object movement to be much more fluid. 

 

Maybe it's time to change the approach. : ) Thank you my friend.
