Wall ends printing too dark

Hello,

When I printing my drawings, the ends of all of my walls are printing heavy. I have tried VG but can't seem to make any changes.

Edit Wall corner joint to Miter, or just join the furring wall with the perpendicular concrete wall.

I've never seen that before. You sure those lines are coming from the Wall? Isolate Walls in View and confirm.  

 

...is that a Wireframe View?

Hi, thanks for the reply. The two walls are Joined together and cutting correctly at openings. I thought about using the Mitre join but I have never had to do that before. To have to go and apply that to each corner in a building seems like a lot of extra work.

There you have it!  Joined elements not touching.

The walls were joined together, I did fix it though. The wall makeup is a 10" concrete foundation wall and a 6" wood insulation wall. The walls are joined in the long direction but were not joined at the ends. Join Geometry resolved it when I went around and joined the end of the walls to the adjacent walls. 

 

Thanks for your help!

Cheers

Again, you need to manually join the wall with the thick end with the second wall perpendicular to it.  Miter joint the walls in the inner corner will also fix it too.  If you want more automation, then look into Dynamo.

Yes, Join Geometry usually does the trick.

Yes, you were correct from the start! It probably took more time my way than using the Mitre command!

Cheers
