In the UK new regulations with regard to sound attenuation mean that the configuration of cavity wall junctions has become very important. We use what are called Robust Details, which, once certified, negate the need for comprehensive (and expensive) sound testing.
It's critical enough that we've deemed it necessary to show these junctions accurately on 1:50/1:100 plans.
The following images show the kinds of junctions we need to convey. There's also this one, which is much the same thing.
These examples were drawn by using a group of polygons and lines drawn over top of the walls. Not only does this make for much work (especially when it comes to modifying them) but it also creates less than ideal DXF exports. So out latest wishlist item is absolute control when joining wall junction components.
