    X1 Double Wall Looks Weird?

    Hi,
    I'm making condos that have a double wall between units. I created a wall definition with the correct spacing, then butted 2 walls and labeled both "double wall" "frame through".

    However when I draw a perpendicular wall to meet my double wall it wants to merge deep into the double wall instead of meeting it like normal. This looks really weird. (I think I attached a photo, but not sure if it's going to work?)

    Do I have a double wall setting setting wrong?

    Thanks very much,
    Zowie

    Found the Issue: X1 Doesn't like 2 layer of Sheetrock

    Seems like this is a glitch. Party wall calls for 2 layers of 5/8" gwb, this makes wall intersections look weird. Had to call one layer "air gap"

    I don't think this is a problem with X1, I suspect you have your main layer set to the sheet rock layer.
