Sidney Lo Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Win10. VW 2017 SP5 (Build 402127) (64-Bit) I just updated VW 2017 and there is no more T-join wall tool. Any suggestions? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Selectthe Wall Join tool (4th from left on the top row). Then from the Mode bar select Tee, El, or Cross modes. Quote Link to comment
Sidney Lo Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hi Pat, Thank you for the quick reply. However, as shown in my screen shot there is no T-Join icon in neither the palette nor the Tool Set. Not even in the workspace! I've used VW for over 25 years and this is the first time. Thank you.

Pat Stanford Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 There is only a single Wall Join tool now. Select that tool and look in the Mode bar. There are options for Cross, El and Tee joins. The same is true of the Component Join Tool. Quote Link to comment
Sidney Lo Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Hi Pat, Is this screen shot from VW 2017? Yours shows a T-Join icon. I can't find it anywhere. And yours shows a Wall Join tool under Tool Sets. Mine version doesn't have that. Could you treat me like a high school student and show the step-by-step to get to where you got that screen shot? Thanks. Edited January 15, 2021 by Sidney Lo Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 No, it is a screen shot from VW2021. Select the icon that looks like the one I am pointing to. It is the Wall Join tool. Once you have it selected look in the mode bar. You will see the options for the different types of joins I am pointing to with the right hand arrow. It will look a little different, but it works the same way. Quote Link to comment
Sidney Lo Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Pat, I just noticed your version is 2021 Designer. Mine is "2017 SP5 (Build 402127) (64-Bit)" as I said right at the beginning. That's why the confusion. Do you have that version? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 No I don't have 2017 available any more. In your first post, in the screen shot, the top row, 4th icon from the left is the Wall Join tool. Select that tool Now look in the Mode bar. You will see three icons that look something like the ones in my screen shot indicating Tee, El, and Cross joins. Have you tried that yet? Please do. Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hi @Sidney Lo a little curious with the confusion as I have 2017 still and all is where it should be. See pic attached. In the pic you will see I have the Wall Join Tool Selected (highlighted in blue) and in the tool mode you'll see I have "L" join mode and the "uncapped" mode selected (also highlighted in blue). Not sure how you can be missing the "T" join mode. Quote Link to comment
Sidney Lo Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hi guys. I reinstalled VW and now it's there. A glitch a guess. Thanks for your help. 1 Quote Link to comment
