Currently operating in Revit 2019.2
What controls walls merging together when they are the same wall type and lined up end to end? When I say merging, I am not talking about joining, I am talking about two separate walls becoming one wall.
I have often wanted this functionality to merge walls together to help clean up a model with multiple walls of the same type in a row that could have easily been created with one wall. Then today as I split a wall (not split face), applied a graphic filter to one side of the split wall, moved one end to where I wanted it and then moved the other wall end to be next to it, poof, the two walls join up and become one wall again.
Now I know I can select the end(s) of the wall(s) and set them to disallow joining to stop this from happening. But more importantly to me, what is controlling this functionality. In the same model I have the same exact situation where I have two of the same walls end to end and I can't get them to become one wall. Why does it work in one location (where I don't want it to) and not in another (where I do want it to)?
I have uploaded a screen cast of this. Note that the second wall I show not joining was in all likelihood created originally as two walls. So is it just that if a wall is created as one wall and split it can be rejoined where a wall created originally as two walls can never be joined / merged into one?
Thanks for any insight offered.
