Interior wall to exterior wall connection
Hello everyone. I am pretty new to this program and I am having trouble with snapping interior walls to exterior walls in a drawing I am working on. The exterior wall is a ICF wall and the interior walls I draw are snapping to the exterior side of the ICF wall. I have the ICF exterior side located correcty so it isn't that. Does anyone have any ides on what could be causing this? I have a pdf. copy of the plan view attached.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

First guess is to check and see what the main layer is for the walls. That's probably the problem.

Tommy,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. The main layer for the wall is "walls normal". This is also the layer for the exterior walls as well. Is there something that needs to be changed here?
Thanks again.Rich Faltyn

Opps, I understand now and fixed the issue. The main layer was not the concrete structure of the wall. Thanks for your help once again!

I don't use Chief's ICF wall definitions because the interior walls always plunge through the interior foam layer to the concrete layer. You won't find too many ICF builders installing their interior wall connections to the ICF walls this way. Chief needs to fix this ... it has been suggested many times before. Interior walls should stop at the drywall/inner foam layer boundary for ICF walls. I just use a single layer definition for the ICF walls for this reason. For my CAD details, I show the individual foam/concrete/foam layers.
