Wall Join and Wall Component Join for 3 or more different walls

[Stuart Child]

Apologies if this is already in the wish list, but we have been struggling with the wall join / component join issue for years.

The original post at the following address explains the issues when trying to join 3 or more walls together all with different components and the problems this creates:

While the work around solutions suggested achieve the desired result in the case of the component join method it is time consuming and prone to error (particularly when a wall is moved the joins are lost requiring us to start over). We have also employed the "Symbol patch" approach on 2d drawings to ensure accuracy on the issued files.

Would be grateful if someone could review the issue raised with the wall tool / component tool and address this soon.

Many thanks.

Looks like it's been fixed in 2012:

You need to use the reshape tool but the joins are retained.

Seems to work ok on my first couple of attempts at three way junctions in the demo version. Still requires several steps of course, including switching between wall join and component join tools to get it to look right.
