Joining Walls

[kkintz]

I am working on a project where I have walls of differnt materials connecting to one another. I am having a problem with joining the walls and was wondering if anyone could help. Another problem I'm having is joining a curtain wall to a curtain wall. Help?

Basic Walls join based on Layer & Material. If they have the same layer they will try to connect. If the material is the same they cleanup, if not you get a line.
Curtain Wall don't "connect" to each others

Is this a basic line and how exactly would you use this line to connect the walls?

[dhurtubise]

There's no line. If they have the same layer but different material Revit will display a line between.

Sorry I misread what you said and thought something different. What I'm getting is instead of the line the walls aren't joining together at all. Even when using the join wall, or join geometry tool. I didn't know if there was something I needed to do to fix that.

Can you post an example?

Just an example, the wall coming up on an angle from the south is 5/8" gyp bd on 3/4" plywood on 20 gage 6" metal studs, and the wall going almost horiztonal is just a 12" concrete wall.
