HomesByDesign Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm guessing this is CA 101, but, in the attached the result I need is not to connect two walls. (Chief 6) As you can see by the rendering I want to pull that blue wall (blue in the plan view) away from the stairs but the auto connect walls kicks in and forces the two walls to connect and the blue wall imposes on my stair space. (the short wall is under the stringer and the long wall is outside the stringer). I cannot step the wall vertically as the wall is to close to the connecting I get a funny result (as attached).

NCC-1701 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Try this on "yellow" wall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC-1701 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Or use the 'edit wall layers intersection' tool..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomesByDesign Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 The attached is what I get when I set the "through wall *" setting, It looks good in view but not rendering. Turning the snap off does not turn off the "auto connect walls" function. I had tried that already :-). what I can do is take the yellow wall out past the blue wall but that's a "work-around".

HomesByDesign Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 The attached is the result of my taking the yellow wall out past the blue wall - it works but not "perfectly correct" ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC-1701 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Best bet for a solution is to post your plan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 You can place a very thin invisible wall to stop any wall, you might even try the new room devider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomesByDesign Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 But it's just a simple step Bill ;-). I was hoping that there was a setting "do not snap walls" -- but that would be too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomesByDesign Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 thanks Perry,,, that worked but it consumed my 2x4 yellow wall - perhaps I need a double wall using the divider wall - Funny thing is I've become consumed with the proper way to do it versus the work arounds :-). That can be fun in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 As long as your stairs are closed under, you don't need that yellow wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomesByDesign Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Perry - you know how the saying goes, "you can't see the forest through the trees"? - well that was the CA 101 solution I was looking for. I tend to complicate the simple things in life it seems. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
