    Pony Wall / Foundation Corner

    I'm wondering if anyone has the same problem...This plan is drawn in X1.3

    I've attached 3 pictures and the .plan file if anyone is interested in looking. You'll the that i have a full foundation wall on the front side of the building and then around the corner to the right i have a pony-wall, the upper wall type is a siding-6, and the lower wall type is 8" concrete. They are set to alight on the outer-main layer, so the framing layer is to the outside of the wall. Then i broke the wall in elevation mode, and created a few steps, the section of wall closest to the corner, i made the upper wall layer dimension 0", so it is basically a full concrete wall.

    I've done this before without issue, but now it's giving me a weird display, the 2 walls join at an angle and in 3D, the actual corner is missing, and the elevation view shows a line and discoloration, even though both walls are using the same material.

    Any ideas? am i doing this wrong?

    I Dont Have X1, But Have You Tried Pulling The Walls Apart And Connecting Them Again? Maybe The Break Confused The Wall Connection

    Where the wall goes all the way to the top,don't use a pony wall there.
    Add a break and use a foundation wall.

    Try naming the garage before building the foundation..

    Nice house..

    hmm, never seen it before. I save all my plan files to a server, but all my CA settings and libraries are local to my machine, there might be something going on there, but...i dont get it when i open the plan, so it must be a machine or destination kind of thing here on my end...thanks again
