Looks like this is several years old but I just got this same problem going on in 2012. I have been working with a template started OOTB - not brought up and updated.
I have not seen these corner issues before. Any ideas????
First pic - shows dots - existing phase in view set for existing
Second pic - demo phase - parts demolished - not entire wall - view set for Demo
Third pic - new phase with view set for new
Only the existing shows this but I also get this problem if I draw a wall in the new phase using a view with new phase settings. So if the wall is created in the view phase - I get a dotted corner.
Can you upload a blank file with just the misbehaving wall in it?
I see your wall projection line weight is set to 5 in object settings. If you lower that to 1 the dots disappear. The componant line weights are still there. I am not sure what element is actually making the dots but the line weight is controlled by the Object styles projection line weight.
But the office standard has the core of the wall much thicker than the other layers. SO, setting the number down does make it go away but I want it fixed - not ignored.
Know what I mean???
The problem is being caused by the Projection line weight value for walls exceeding what you have set for the non-structural components of walls. That is, since the non-structural components of walls are set to have a cut value of 2, any Projection lineweight that exceeds 2 results in the "dots" which are actually just the intersection of the wall boundary lines at the corners of the wall. I'm not sure these aren't overridden the same way as the internal components, but that's the way it works. You might want to submit a service request or wishlist item on this one, because I don't see any way around it. As far as I can tell, your only option is to model them as separate walls (core wall vs. finish wall) and use filters to override the graphics.
Hope that helps.
On my screen the core is still showing as thicker lines. The stud layer is anyway. Some of the outer lines on the CMU-mtl stud wall type lose thickness but it appears to be gyp layers only which are thinner on the other wall types.
The question still remains, what is making those dots. It is like there is a small fillet at the corners drawn in a different line style than the rest of the wall componants.
Mike (or anyone), can you explain how you set up your wall types to have the core component different from the rest? I think the answer is in there somewhere, but I can't figure that part out...
OK, since for some reason the forum won't let me edit my previous post, here goes:
The problem is a lack of consistency between your overrides in the Cut Line Styles settings and the Object Style settings. In your Object Styles, you have the Projection lineweight set to 2, but in the Cut Line Styles settings, you have all of the functions (other than Structure [1]) set to 1. If you change them to 2 here, then the dots go away.
You apparently can't have a discrepancy between the two, since you can't override the Cut Line Styles of just the Structure [1] components without also affecting the others (Substrate [2], Thermal/Air Layer [3], etc.). If you set all the non-structure components to a line weight of 2, then everything shows up as you intend for it to.
Hope that helps (see image below).
