Benson Shaw Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) I unjoined an L join to insert a column by dragging the wall ends away from the join. Both walls now have mitred ends. How do I remove the mitres so I can butt the walls to the column? I could remake the walls, but then I would have to reinsert doors and windows. I have auto join walls turned off. Several locations like this in the building. Thanks! -B Edited February 20, 2016 by Benson Shaw Quote Link to comment
twk Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) I believe you'd use the Remove Wall Breaks tool. Not sure what the standard short cut key is. Our workspace is totally different than the original one. Heres a screenshot of what it looks like.

bc Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 TWK is in the right track. You may also have to add endcaps if that is the look you want. I don't understand why this is the default resultant of disconnecting L joins. How often is it that people really want their wall ends to be 45 degrees? Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 That's what I thought might work, too. But, no. Order of execution does not affect. I tried: •No End Caps, then Remove Wall Breaks •Remove Wall Breaks, then No End Caps •Repeat with End Caps Both Ends, Start, End. I finally found that this can work (Top/Plan view): •Drag the end of wall away from the initial join to reveal the mitre. •Draw a new wall as a T across the beveled end (Might need to be same height). •Apply the Wall Join tool>T mode>Capped Join mode. Order of join selection matters. •Delete the new short wall. •Apply a cap and drag the newly squared wall to correct length. Sometimes, just drawing the new wall across the mitred wall produces the squared end. Some mitred L joins revert to unmitred when dissociated. I'm still trying to figure out what initial conditions set up the different outcomes when dissociating. -B Quote Link to comment
bc Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Actually benson I am not seeing this behavior now that I take the time to experiment. I was recalling issues I used to have apparently. When I pull walls apart they automatically heal...whether I have auto join walls activated or not. Maybe you have a corruption? Quote Link to comment
thinkingpencil Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I used the Split tool to slice off the mitres om top plan. Quote Link to comment
