plannedRITE Posted Wednesday at 07:38 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:38 PM I know this is a relatively common issue but the fixes that I've found in searching pertain to interiors or slab on grade rooms. If we have a floor framed porch with solid walls on each side but the face open, if one side is just a single wall the open face (an invis wall/open railing) will cut the finish surface back of the single wall. For many intersections that might have a similar issue, editing the wall layers is the fix...but that doesn't work with this wall setup. Is there a proper way to accomplish this without rough bandaids like solids/moldings to cap the end of the wall? End Wall Issue.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitMan71 Posted Wednesday at 07:58 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:58 PM I don't have X17 so I could not open the file. BUT Check out this video.... I struggled at first, but I got it... think you will get the idea. It is somewhat tricky. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/r764rcxvgywbg6kat43ku/Screen-Recording-2025-08-20-at-2.51.45-PM.mov?rlkey=susk4inqd8ce9ykdkk384vmxo&dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This did bring up another curveball...rigid insulation wouldn't be installed around the single wall but would be installed at the cap of it, to match the depth of the rest of the home. So that extra thickness throws off where the main layer sits. I guess that this design in particular might be a bit too custom for Chief (as it wraps around). That being said, I tested your solution with the same exterior wall layer thickness and it did work. Thank you!

PitMan71 Posted Thursday at 03:03 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:03 PM I would contact support and see how they recommend handling a scenario like this. It's not uncommon. I have done similar things on the interior and it's always challenging. it seems the invisible wall is causing the issue. ima gonna look at this again.
