hi

can somebody help me fix these wall joins?

what i did was an octagonal conceptual mass and add the wall to the faces 

is there any other way to do this? maybe i am doing it wrong.

Have you tried using the 'wall joins' tool. Try giving them a Mitred connection instead.

If that doesn't work, maybe forget using the "wall by face" and just redraw the walls traditionally using the mass as a template to be traced. You could then cut all the walls on the angle using an in-place void extrusion.

You can also create a reference plane, select the walls, and use the "attach top/bottom" tool to the reference plane for a nice clean termination at an angle.

thanks! wall joins worked perfect on the floor plan view, there is a line below but that is a void i have there

on the 3d view it still has some issues with the edges

even if attaching the wall to an inclined reference plane it is not doing it to all the end of the wall it just does it for part of the top end

Does anyone else wish that there was a toggle to make wall joins the default off
