Issue detailed in video.

 

Basically need to extend the brick layer further horizontally in plan view than the rest of the componund wall (i.e. insulation, avb, sheating,etc.) so far tried unlocking base of wall in section in the "edit types" window but to no avail.

It only works vertically.  Create parts and stretch the part instead.  Or make the wall longer and use a void to cut the other layers.

So you basically need to create parts for all of those different ending points?

Hi @Anonymous 

 

I think this is going to come down to the Wall Assembly definition.  can you post a screenshot of both the wall Assembly definitions so that I can replicate? I don't think I have it quite right.

There are two wall types, one is a brick face and the other is a metal panel face (currently shown as plywood, not important for this exercise to change material).

Thanks @Anonymous 

I think I have been able to achieve what you are after, using  the wall Def below:

Please use Finish 2 for the Internal Finish.

if the Wall Join you get is not correct, you can use the Wall Join tool

Select the Wall join you want  to change, then click Next to cycle through the join configurations

Hey @Anonymous: I'll add here that Layer Function is key in Joining. I have "corrected" many join conditions by simply changing a wall layer's Function. Check out this AKN article for more information:
