Wall shows through exterior wall

[Adam_Gibson]

In a case of aging brain, I don't remember what causes the exterior walls in certain circumstances to do this. When an interior wall, even an attic wall, butts into an exterior wall, it happens. Seems to be most common on dormers. The project file is here, if you're really curious. It's too large to attach (19 MB).

Hi Adam, 

 

Walls showing through like that are often due to the way walls intersections are behaving in those areas. Sometimes they can be corrected with Edit Wall Layer Intersections. Sometimes you might have an unnecessary attic wall that can simply be deleted. On some occasions a pony wall was needed so the lower part of the wall could have the connection but the upper is continuous or a roof plane is intruding into the wall's space. 

 

If you post your plan, forum users can help you take a look or you can send the file in to our Technical Support for additional help.

I've manipulated wall intersections to no avail. I did post a link to the plan. Also, I managed to fix the one on the left, but the one on the right (front) is still giving me issues.

Hi Adam, 

 

Sorry I missed the link originally. 

 

It looks like the tiny bit of the Garage attic wall that is not covered by the roof plane is popping up. The funny part is that the wall doesn't even really exist in 3d. There isn't enough room it. But it is still trying to do what it is programmed to do. 

 

I have found the following solutions:

 

1. Delete the Garage Attic wall. 

2. Make the Garage Attic Wall invisible. 

3. Make a minor bump in the Roof plane to cover the wall piece.
