wall join issues

[Christian Fekete]

Hello,

I cannot figure out why some joints are capped and not others. They are all defined with uncapped components, all on the same class and all uncapped walls on the drawings.

Thanks for your help

If the fills between two components in the join are different, you will get a line between them.  I believe that's the cause in your file.

I can't find a sollution for connecting / changing the  individual setting of differentcomponents of a walltype vertically,

without affecting the whole wall type,

so is there a way to change the wallsettings of the components for an indiviual wall without changing the wallstyle completely?

 

best regards

Try changing one of the walls you want with different material(s) to unstylized.

Change your material(s) and either save as new stylized or leave as unstyled wall type.

If I recall correctly, the Stylized walls will remain unchanged.

thanks taoist...I wil try to go with your flow.

Vectorworks has a good working tool for connecting horizontal walls and components of walls, 

was it to difficult to create a tool for vertical walls?

 What exactly do you want to change "vertically"? You can change the height of individual components in a wall object without affecting the wall style.

 

If you want to change to a different construction type, at some point in the height of the wall, then you need to stack two different wall types on top of each other.

Yes @filip it would be good to see some screenshots of what it is you're trying to do.

Dear Tom,

this screenshot shows two walls and a floorslab, the walls are on different laters, 

and is would be great to connect the componentens seperately. Horizontaly there is a nice tool to do this, not vertically. 

see screenshot.
