rlackore Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 These walls that are drawn at a slight angle to each other won't join properly: I just tried this in X6 and have the same problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 15026.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 They look like are joined to me. I am on X7, I did nothing but open your plan. Try reopening your plan and see if it is fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Hmm. They aren't connected for me. See the lines at the wall intersections on your screenshot? They shouldn't be there if the walls were properly joined, would they? Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology. The walls ARE connected in that they share common end points. But the layers AREN'T cleaning up properly - those intersection lines shouldn't be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshall Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I have a room, if I change the angle of intersecting walls, there is not line..... I agree there should not be a line at the very shallow angles, but that's life, not much we can do about it, your model should look other that the small peccadillo in plan.

TheKitchenAbode Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Don't know why, but I moved a section away and was able to join them properly. X7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlackore Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 My work-around has been to draw a curved wall and set the facet angle to 1 degree to match the window pitch. Unfortunately I can't use a curved wall for the two interior walls at the bottom of the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKitchenAbode Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 This is just a guess. The wall angles in the original plan have a lot of decimal places. Maybe there is a limit on what Chief can handle. The sections I played with have only full degree angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Looks like maybe you forgot to close your plan before attaching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKitchenAbode Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Looks like maybe you forgot to close your plan before attaching it. Does the attached zipped file not open? Things were a bit slow. Will try again in a few hours, just on my tablet now. Thanks, Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan_Son Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Not sure what you did Graham, but the walls you have that show as connected don't seem to match the length or angles (relative to each other) as any of the other walls in the plan. Robert, I can't seem to get the walls in the upper section to connect either. I was however easily able to replace that group of walls with a matching curved exterior wall (as you also mentioned you did). The walls across the bottom however are quite strange... If you break one of the wall connections so that the room is no longer enclosed, the walls will connect properly. As soon as you enclose the room again the strange disconnect shows back up. I also notice that the wall connection on the lower right behaves strangely. The wall coming down from above builds through the perpendicular wall instead of connecting to it. I didn't mess with that particular item very much, but the connection only seemed to work properly if the wall type for the vertical wall is changed. Probably an issue to send in to tech support.

TheKitchenAbode Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I was not attempting to fix the actual plan. Just wanted to demonstrate that low angle wall sections will connect properly. The length and desired angles can be set in the wall DBX to suit. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Here is the result of my unscientific experiment: It appears wall joined at 1 degree or less will not join properly. Add .01 degree, and the intersection heals successfully. I've sent this issue in to Tech Support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as you enclose the room again the strange disconnect shows back up. I was able to reproduce this observation. Very strange. I didn't include this behavior in my support ticket - probably should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Here is tech supports answer: This is just the way the program is drawing it. If I close the room, (see screenshot) it actually shows a break in both walls and you get a good room definition. It is functioning well, but it confusing when you see different things when drawing. I will report this anomaly to our developers. Notice that they've turned on line widths, so the connection doesn't look too bad. Still, my issue isn't about room defs, it's about "the way the program is drawing it." We'll see what the developers can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
