Joining angle wall extends it beyond intersection

[SignatureDB 0]

When I connect two walls at an angle (e.g. 45), the angled wall does not merge smoothly with one of the vert/horiz walls, but snaps 'through' to the other side, and overdraws a portion of any object on the other side. All snap behaviors have been disabled(???), but when the angled line gets close, it snaps anyway.

It's not clear from your rather small image what the problem is.

 

Could you add some text and an arrow in the plan and then attach it? Close the program first.

Attached. Not sure where Overgaard is...I lived in Phoenix in the early 70's. I miss it.

About 2 -1/2 hours Northeast on the Rim at 6500 ft. 3000 or so full time residents, grows to about 12,000 in the summer as people escape the valley heat.

 

Phoenix, I'm sure was a different place back then.

 

Here is a video on how I would solve the problem.

Eric,

Thank you for your reply. I had not considered a faux 'wall'. I've had some experience with other CAD s/w, but CA approaches from a specialized perspective (architecture) I'm much less familiar with. I'm guessing there's really no way to tame the 'aggressive' snap behaviors, then. Is there any way to change the weight (thickness) of lines?

 

I doubt I'd recognize much of the Phoenix area now. I re-visited in the early 90's, and barely recognized it then! Still miss the life style, though.

Check Help for line weight.

The software is designed with convenience features, like auto joining of walls, that sometimes get in the way. No way to turn this off.

Wall snaps are pre-programmed but you can select an off angle wall (a wall not at 90 degree angles) and incrementally move it using your "Arrow Keys" on the keyboard and sometimes then find a better connection by slightly moving the wall back and forth while in plan view (the increment of movement is set in "General Plan Defaults - Snap Grid increment settings input box"), this sets how far a selected object moves per click of your arrow keys per instance.

 

You cannot reprogram that but you can use alternate methods to deal with its rigidness.
