hi colleagues.

is there any way to joint those elements?

Its supposed to be join. Try enable with structure for wall. If its not solve can you post the sample file.

Hi, @andres_urrutia. Are the wall and slab materials the same? If not, then there will be a connection line and you will have to hide it, for example, with a masking region.

i modify the wall (note: the value I put is just an approximation), then use join tool

yes I have defined both as a structural members.

I've attached the sample model...

thank you for your help

There is a long solution and a short solution:

Short solution:

Attach base to slab or use join tool to join the two elements.

Long solution:

Rotate your two circular wall segments through 90 degrees so that the wall ends are not parallel to the section:

Like this

Not this

Above only works for one side of wall actually.

I assume this has something to do with seeing the ends of the walls in the cut plane and Revit not knowing how to deal with them. To get a complete circle I'd be tempted to model in-place deducting a small cylinder from a large one. Also nothing stopping you from confining your completion segment to a much reduced angle that misses section planes (this works for both sides of wall).

I could not add these images in the message edit since the image button is there but does nothing when you press it. So I've added this extra post elaborating on the above.

Avoid highlighted area of wall being in section planeResults in above
