Hi guys, how can I get my walls to always join like in situation number 2 in the picture attached? It is always joining like situation 1 and I have to pull them back out of the thicker wall, right-click, disallow join, extend it back to the thicker wall and join geometry manually. Thats very annoying! Thanks.

Make the thicker wall 'Bearing and the thinner wall ' non-bearing.

Try Modify, 'Wall Joins', 'don't clean join'.

Hey, I think I did it! I found the solution!! I went to the thick wall configuration and moved the its inner wall layer (layer 5) above the layer 4 so it doesn't wrap anymore! :-) The image shows how it was before the change.

you have to go into the construction of your wall. In the 1st instance, the core of the wall is joining to the core of another wall. Click on your wall, choose type properties, then edit the construction. Here is how that tool works, you choose a material, and assign it a function and thickness. The thickness and material are no brainers, the function is a bit more complex. notice you will see the core defined as "Structure[1]" All we truly care about is the [1], this means that the core will cut through ALL layers to join with another core. So, if we have a wall, which is made up of a [3], then a bit of a [2] and then the core is a [1], and we have another wall which is just a [2] and a [1], the following will happen, the core [1] will cut through to join, the [2] will cut through the [3] but not the [1], and since there is no [3] in one of the walls, the [3] will adjoin to the face of the [2] in the other wall. OK, so now that I've confused you, click on the vertical wall, edit its construction. Look to see what the gray area is classified as. Then switch to your horizontal wall, edit its construction and change the core to be the same thing as the other wall. Warning, this might cause issues elsewhere, if you have a higher number in the core, then that means joins with other walls might not be correct. A simpler solution is to use your trim command, trim the horizontal walls to the FACE of the vertical wall, then join the elements together. This isn't an automatic approach, but it isn't too tough either. Hope this all helps, plz ask for clarification where/when you need it, as I rushed this out and know it isn't the best explanation. GL

That may be a graphic fix but you just made your wall structure unrealistic. The Core should sandwich at least 1 structure. I think it's ok when you will not be working with Revit for structure analysis. Also, when you do a section or connection detail, you'll end up going back to the original wall configuration.

That was an awesome explanation! I understand now how the layer functions work. I played a bit with them and got exactly what I needed. Check the pic. Thanks a lot, thetabest! You helped a lot with your quick explanation!
