I am having trouble cleaning up different wall types joining at or close to a corner. I tried to over ride the clean up radius....no luck. May be doing it wrong or this may not be the way to fix the problem.
Is there a fix? Please see attached.
Thanks,
Marc
I see two problems. First, you have the priorities in your wall components reversed. The structural items, like CMU, that get installed first have lower priority numbers than the finishing items, like drywall, that are installed later. The standards for the components you are using are: CMU 300, Stud 500, Rigid Insulation 600, Air Gap 700 and GYP 1200. Take a look at the many wall components provided with the product, and study their priority numbers. The second and bigger problem is the clean-up radius. You have a 6-inch radius on your tile wall which in conjunction with the 6" radius on your gyp only wall and the 16" radius on your CMU wall, is causing the walls to jump across otherwise empty space to clean-up with all walls that are within that radius. Change all the radius's to 0 and correct your component priorities, and the walls will clean-up without issue.
Thanks, I did not know to do wall priorities in a certain order.
Also, is there another way to do clean up radius? I tried (left click on a wall / right click / cleanups / override cleanup radius) and cannot seem to get it to work. Am I in the wrong place?
Thanks,

With your Properties dialog box open, click on a wall and on the Design Tab/Advanced/Cleanups, change the Cleanup radius to 0. Do this for every wall that has a cleanup radius.
Cool.....Thanks. All fixed.
The wall raduius of zero, should this be used as default or just when wall intersections have a problem?
Marc
Always start with the default radius at 0. And, make certain that the wall components you want to clean up have the same Cleanup priority and are in the same Cleanup group.
I may have spoken too soon.
Please see atached.
Thanks.
I couldn't get those two areas to work without adding a cleanup radius. Select each wall, toggle on Justification Display and drag the cleanup arrow until you see the missing components appear.
Hey....Maybe you are out there. I am too tired and mad to figure this out. I did the First Floor Space Generate and Room Tag. All looked great. I did this a few days ago. Today I go to do the same thing to the Second Floor and all is not great. The First and Second Floor are in the same model space, Space Generate appears to have worked just fine; however, when I go and do the Room Tag the tag comes in huge. Why?
Please see atached.

When I open your drawing, the tags look fine. I would suggest re-posting as a new topic, rather than piggy backing on the existing one, and rather than your drawing, post screen shots of the right and wrong tags.
You are very welcome. I see that you've reposted, and the first response from Leo was what I thought it might be. Unfortunately, I don't have any additional ideas beyond that one which you say doesn't work. I noticed from your last posting that you are located in my part of the world. I live on Perdido Bay in Lillian--what I call the Pensacola side of Alabama. Small world!
Wow, usually posts are from a long ways off. You are just down the road.
Still having troubles with Room Tags being too big. I will try wblocking floor plan out and see if that does anything.
Will let you know.
Have a great Tuesday.
