I have a stacked wall defined as EIFS on CMU on the upper portion and brick on CMU down below. I have 2 walls making a 90-deg. outside corner, which are existing on the existing phase, and we're going to bring in a new wall that matches the existing structure, and it will be inline with one of the existing walls, so it will make a T-connection.
So, with just the existing stacked walls in place, corner join is fine. But, if I bring in a new wall on the New Construction phase, I can make it look fine in the New floor plan, but it screws up the join on the existing floor plan. I also have an existing elevation to show items demolished, and the edge of the existing wall doesn't display correctly there, either.
So I tried making the 2 existing walls miter together, then changing the end of the new wall to disallow join, and then joining gemoetry. That makes the existing elevation look fine, the new elevation look okay (not ideal but I can work with it), but it leaves me with an odd artifact in the new construction plan view, because I have a piece of the brick wall sweep from the existing perpendicular wall sticking out of the new wall, because the new wall doesn't join and doesn't affect the 2 existing outside corner walls.
Of course what will happen in real life is that the brick and watertable brick that make the 90-deg. outside corner will be removed as the new structure is put in place so that the outside of the wall looks continuous (w/ expansion joint). Any ideas how I might go about this?
