More details please. Screen shots/movie might help us figure out what is going on.

 

What exactly have you tried?  Are you getting any error messages? Are you in the correct mode of the Wall Join Tool (Tee/El/Cross) for the wall configuration you are working on?

 

Nah…been doing this since 99.

no error I get the highlighting when clicking but nothing happens.

Try switching to a different workspace and see if Wall Join works there.

 

If it does, switch back to your original workspace and edit it. Remove and re-add the Wall Join tool and see if that works.

 

If you have brought forward an older workspace from previous versions, make some time and start from one of the default workspaces and recreate yours. This will eliminate any cruft that might have been brought forward and will let you make sure you have all of the current commands/tools that might not have been in your older workspace.

I did not carry over a workspace as I use the standard and have not customized it. It has worked fine for a few months and just stopped the other day.

Illusionary solution (you may already be used to it) but,

to make sure to use the typical own VW tool workflows, orders and timining:

 

Draw 2 non-touching Walls at 90° angle so that they could extend to a potential

connection on the same Layer and Class. Keep Layer and Class show modify and edit,

go to an Isometric View ....

 

- activate Wall Join Tool

- check that L-join is activated

Without any thing selected,

- hover over the bottom of Wall A until it shows a red bottom-mid-line

- click to activate the first Wall for joining

- expand the red rubber band over to Wall B

- hover over Wall B's bottom mid line until it gets red

- click on Wall B's bottom line to accept

 

-> Walls will extend to join at connection point

 

 

If this does not work - at which step it starts to fail ?

 

Second, selections and snapping usually are done by OpenGL and GPU (?)

what are your Hardware and OS specs ?

Well I'll be a suck egg mule. It worked. So strange. I have been using VW since 99 and 2022 for months joining tons of walls with no issue until the other day.

I think I am no longer in Kansas.

 

LOL

That looks pretty OK.

 

Haven't worked with (Public Beta) of 12.4 Monterey and VW 2022 SP3.

But I had the impression that since SP3 I see a lot of macOS beach balling,

even in new scenes from my Template Files - just by browsing my

Resource Manager ....

 

 

Also I had again display issues and external drive issues with official final

Monterey 12.3 - that is why I went back to public beta 12.4.

Ya--I haven't tried the Beta and will wait.

I have looked at a bunch of beach balls and some crashes as well. The remedy has been to shut down once in a while. That seems to freshen things up. Also--I am using an older 27" iMac as a second monitor as part of my workflow and I understand that is an issue as well. So I will have a couple files and a sizable PDF all open. I can't complain too much.

Until its worked out, I have that work around I mentioned.

Just an extra click.

Also possible & maybe quicker: select both walls and use Command-J (I think that's from the default workspace but may have been customized)
