Joining the same material

I am having trouble trying to join 2 internal plasterboard materials on two different walls. 

There appears to be a line separating the two. How would I go about joining them? File attached

Try to turn on Thin lines (TL) and problem will be solved 😉

You will not seeing it when publish your drawing, builders also won`t see it.

First of all, you are trying to join two walls with different layers, materials and layer thickness. Altought both walls width is the same and they are already joined the line won't desapear because it will be for real (that's why Lineworkw or Wall Joins doesn't work either). The more close you can reach is to change detail level of walls to Coarse, apply white and solid on Coarse Scale Fill Pattern & Color, then use linework -invisible- on join line. Anyway, you still have to hide grid and floor line, and the annoying inside line layer (move up inside core boundary to turn it off).

Each color represents a different Material:

PLUS - wouldn't this be the correct construction and transition between different wall thickness? I mean, in my neck of the woods, when we transition from 2x4 to 2x6 (which is fairly common), the exterior faces of the studs (core) remain aligned.

I would suggest furring to thicken the wall at the interior to get the GWBs on the same plane.

You can definitely have seamless transitions between two finishes of the same material if they are different thicknesses. In this example one brick is 70mm thick and the other is 990mm thick. I did not even have to use the join tool. It was done automatically by Revit.

Is the layer that needs to be seamless the same type under the Wall Construction?

On the interior side is flush plasterboard. Both are drawn at 13mm thick. 


Both of these layers should join up seamlessly.

I'm afraid you're talking about 3D and forgetting the plan view, by the way, look at your own capture and try to hide all the join line, the subject of this post, indeed. Also, there are another facts that affects when joining walls, i.g. different wall profiles, nearby walls, joins whit other elements (beams, columns, wall-based families), etc. We all know about wall joins issues, it's not as simple as it seems...

OP is only asking about how to make the one layer, interior plasterboard, join correctly. They are not talking about the entire wall. My capture plan view shows the one layer, the brick, joining which is a response to your original response that there will always be a line. You mentioned nothing about all the other issues with joining walls in your first post, which yes I agree there are lots, but you made a blanket statement that it is not possible which is incorrect. It seems like you are talking about the entire wall and I am talking about just the one interior finish layer, which is what OP asked about.

Are you trying to help or demonstrate that you are smarter than the rest? I could have missed the point of the OP, but, as you said, it's a blank statement, not mine but of Revit's behavior, though it could help to clarify things. No one here needs to ban anyone else's contribution to get kudos.

I am addressing what you said about me, quote "I'm afraid you're talking about 3D and forgetting the plan view, by the way, look at your own capture and try to hide all the join line, the subject of this post, indeed." 

You essentially told me I don't know what I am talking about so I responded in kind.

I agree though it seems like we both just interpreted what the OP wrote differently. I was not intending to insult you with my original post, I was just trying to get clarity on what you had originally said.

Contrary to what you said, you did not assign interior material to Motor Room wall type.

Also, Show Hidden Line is set to: All. Equal materials and change this to By disciplne and now your walls will look joined (they already are).

Excuse me too, I misread your comment with the wrong OP glasses...

And the join line you see on plan, whether the interior material is the same or not, is because the two walls have different base constraints/offsets. 

 

Change view depth like this then you will see no line.  or just use Linework tool to clean it if changing view depth cause undesired visibility in other areas.
