TArchit Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I have created an external metal rain screen wall style for a faceted wall however the insulation element extends beyond the join for each segment of wall in plan, as attached. I would be happy to ignore this but there are also windows close to the joins in these walls and the insulation is extending over them. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Edit Wall Style component and change this setting: Wall Preferences > Wall Component Settings > Always Auto Join in Capped Join Mode Quote Link to comment
TArchit Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Thanks Christiaan. I have tried your suggestion and the problem still persists. If I duplicate the thinner layer of insulation which is joined correctly and use it to replace the thicker layer, the problem is transferred to the new insulation layer, as attached. Strange.

Christiaan Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Did you turn off "Always Auto Join in Capped Join Mode" for all wall components? Quote Link to comment
TArchit Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Yes it doesn't appear to make any difference whether it is on or off. Quote Link to comment

Christiaan Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Always Auto Join in Capped Join Mode was turned on for all components. You need to turn this off and then redo wall joins. 1 Quote Link to comment
TArchit Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Thanks Christiaan, it was the rejoining all the walls bit that I was missing. Quote Link to comment
JMR Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Hi, offtopic, but if I may, how did you create the batt insulation component fill in the wall? I'm unable to find a hatch like that in VW libraries. Quote Link to comment

Im not actually sure if its listed as a hatch resource on its own or not, it's included in a number of the Wall Styles however and when you insert one of the wall styles, it becomes a hatch resource in that document:Sample Insulation Hatches.vwx Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I don't think it's a hatch...I think it's a tile??? Quote Link to comment

JMR Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Ok thanks, found it now. Are there any precautions one should take if using tiles instead of hatches in wall components? Display performance issues etc.? Quote Link to comment
