Wall Intersection Issue

[Chief-007]

Hello,

 

I am in Chief x17. I’m running into an issue with wall intersections. My curved glass shower wall is cutting into my straight interior wall, causing it to follow the curve. I need the interior wall to extend slightly farther out, but when I try using the “Edit Wall Layer Intersection” tool, because the walls are so close together, it keeps snapping back and won’t allow me to extend/ adjust the interior wall. Is there an option in the wall specifications that define which wall cuts the other wall?

 

Thanks in advance.

I have been trying that and it is not working. It keeps snapping back to how it is now. I tried using the tool for both the shower wall and the straight interior wall, but no luck. I think because the ends are really close together they automatically snap. If I extend the straight wall further out, it cuts out the curved shower wall. The issue is, it is an existing condition that I need to replicate. Let me know if there are other methods of solving this. Thanks for helping.

This is one of those things that frustrate me too. Would really like more control over how these walls clean up like "don't clean up this intersection!" The cleanup wall tool does help sometimes. Anyway, try this....

 

Step 1 - pull the end of the wall out past the intersection.

Step 2 - Grab the diamond on the end of the wall to draw a new wall, just a few inches, in the direction opposite the shower wall but perpendicular to the existing wall.

Step 3 - make the new wall invisible.

Step 4 - move the new invisible wall back towards the original location, where you want the end of the wall.

 

Adding the invisible wall gives the wall something to cleanup with. If you really want to get technical make a new invisible wall layer for the little wall piece and turn it off.
