Better automatic wall joins

[Dieter @ DWorks]

We we join walls, the components are not joined automaticly, except for the core component. VW should join components automaticly when they are of the same class, this way, the user will have less work joining the components.

Another useful addition in relation to this would be a list of wall/slab components from which one can choose existing or previously created components when setting up new wall/slab types, i'm surprised this doesn't already exist and it wouldn't surprise me if it would make the control of automatic component joining easier.

Very nice idea

Yes please!!!!

Any while this topic is running so smoothly....can I reiterate my thoughts from our 'meet the engineers' session in London:

VW should be able to join any number of walls (within reason) at a single point, not just two. L-Join and X-Join do NOT count as 3 and 4 wall joins!...we need the ability to join multiple wall types, at odd angles. Joining the components of a third wall, at an existing joint between two walls, should NOT break the existing wall join.

And yes, matched-component auto-joining would be a useful feature, but you would have to be able to turn it off.
