Two wall joined - Common edge line weight

Joined wall.png

Hello everyone,

We have prefabricated wall with 6 to 8 layers. We are modelling them as a Three Walls. With in each wall there are other layers also. At the moment this is the Course view. 

When i joined the walls together it converts the common edge between two walls as a thin line. From where can i control the thickness of this common edge when wall are joined?

 

I checked every thing. Override in view, VG, object styles, filter. Nothing seems to be working.

If i change to medium and fine then i see the layer within each wall which i don't want to see. I just want to see the middle wall with thick lines and the side wall as thin line. 

 

Thanks

Good one. Gave it a try:

So IMO all lines should be the same weight - but they aren't. Then I changed the line weight for layer Structure, and guess what:

And then I set back the line weight to 5 and modified the 'common edge' under Object Styles:

And now they are all the same width.

I think, You are still in the fine or medium view detail.

 

Change it to the course view detail and you will see the thin line if two different walls are joined with each other.

I edited my reply just when you posted your reply 🙂

In Coarse view, all layers blend together, as to be expected:

Thanks for reply. 

 

That i know. Just copy the wall you created and place it directly next to the first wall and then join both the walls. Then you will see that it is not following the common edge line weight. 

 

Thanks. I hope you understand what i mean

Ah, ok, it's the thin line you want to get rid of. Made a copy of the wall, joined them, but the thin line won't show?

Could you post a couple of screenshots of the wall-configuration?

What about using the Linework Tool?

The three walls need a different material to get the joint line (you have that covered). You need to join each set of walls together (you've done that). The following V/G overrides to the Wall category and sub-categories should get you thick lines for the middle layer and thin for the outer layers. I used Miter for wall join behavior to clean up at the corner. But you can get the same result if you just join the side wall layers to the horizontal layers too.

Not sure how to do the interior layers of the three walls your using, this is three single layer walls.

Using Filters and specific naming of wall types I get closer I think. Each of these three wall types have multiple layers and they are not joined with each other, just next to each other. The filter governs the lineweight for type.
