join lower layer of floor to wall

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'd like to join the last layer of my floor to my wall, the materials are the same but I can't make it works ... 

The tool Join geometry seems to work as the insulation part of the floor and the wall are joined but it's not the case on the corner ... 
How can I join this ? 

Thank you !

Bring your wall base to match the bottom of the floor and bring the edge of the floor to the inner edge of the cladding layer of the wall.  then you can either Attach wall base to the floor, or Join geometry.

Thanks it did work 😄 
The problem now  is that I have a thermal bridge at the junction ...  

Do you have an idea on how to solve this ? 

[ToanDN]

That may be able to mitigate via modifying the layer priority of the wall type and the floor type: core layers join core layers, finish layers join finish layers. If you can share a piece of your model with a wall and a floor then we can take a look at them.

Putting the thermal bridge at the core would solve.  

...out of curiosity, why Join them? Is that a true representation of the actual construction?  Maybe extending the exterior wall finish layer (via "Base Extension") would be a better approach?

Oh sure, here's the file. Thank you ! 
Those already have same priority, maybe I could cheat a little bit to work this out ...

If it is only for the section/detail drawings than you could use Cut profile tool to fix it.

If you want it to be correctly model wise, I would model the finish layer under the floor as a separate ceiling or floor element, which is a good approach if what you show are an exterior soffit condition.

Wouldn't this be the correct representation -- Structural Cores in contact with each other?

I think I'll just create a separate wall fot finishing layer. Thank you for the advices 

And yes it's indeed exterior soffit ! 

@barthbradley Maybe I should have use other colors or just the fills, the lowest thickest layer is insulation. So I think the representation is correct. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm missing something  ?

Edit the wall assembly and unlock layers in a Section Preview. This will give you the ability to drag those unlocked wall layers up or down in Section View -- or input a value into the wall's "Base Extension" parameter field.   

P.S. you don't necessarily need to have a separate floor for finish layers.  Joining core to core and proper Join Order will clean up the join condition between the Wall and Floor just fine.
