Line between wall and attic wall

[JDorow]

I know this topic has been discussed many times before, but I have tried a number of things learned from previous posts to no avail. I have a SIP wall with a SIP attic wall above and for some reason it is displaying a line between the two on my elevations. As you scroll in and out, it will disappear and reappear. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix it! I am sure it is porbably something to do with not having the right combination of settings or something... Please help!

Your file is empty, probably because you had Chief open when you zipped it. Close Chief then zip/attach.

Here are a couple of reasons why this might happen.

 

- The walls are not aligned between floors.

- The wall types don't match.

- The materials for the walls are not the same.  And by the same, I mean the exact same material and not just two materials that look the same.

- The wall tops/bottom actually overlap.  This can happen when people edit them manually and can be reset back to default in the wall dialog.

I believe you're seeing "Z-fighting" - when underlying elements are competing for visibility - caused by your siding being only 1/2" thick, allowing other layer elements to show at the surface.

 

If you make the siding layer 1" it goes away, as seen in this before and after of the same exact view:

I'm not suggesting you make your siding thicker, I'm just saying what's happening. I deal with it too.

Chrisb222 - Thanks for the quick solution. I really should have my siding layer thicker, so that works great!
