I have this problem on every new project I start. I do all residential design and a lot of remodel type work. I continue to have the exact same problem when trying to use early stage design options to show different possible schematic designs based off existing geometry. I model the existing walls. I then add them to an option set. In my latest iteration I just added the entire building to the option set because I wanted to eliminate the possibility of an issue caused by certain elements being outside the set. The building couldn't be simpler, it's just a rectangle, and I want to demolish one wall on one end, and extend that end by 6'. I'm finally turning to the forum because in the past I always assumed there was something more complicated in my model causing the issue, but this time around it's too simple and it's repeatable.
When I draw the new construction walls and connect them to the existing walls, they jump back and show a gap between them. I can clean up the join using the wall join tool in one phase if I want, but it will ruin the same join in the other phase. I cannot figure out any way to have it look the way it will be built in real life in both the existing view and the new construction view.
Now that I write out the post I realize it doesn't necessarily matter if I have a design option or not. I generally do but the phasing is the real issue. Can anyone explain what is going on here?
