I have tried hard to re-create your problem and can not under normal instances. I can absolutly say, creating a central file has nothing to do with this except if the file has somehow become corrupted.
The only time I see that you can edit a join:
- One of the walls has wall joins turned off
- One wall is in a different design option
- You cannot join or unjoin an editable wall to a non-editable wall if that would change the shape of the non-editable wall.
- You cannot join an editable wall to the end of a non-editable wall. Revit keeps the walls close together but does not join them and issues a warning.

Hi Matheus,
The only way I can get a similar result is if I have the join tool active and then hover over the wall in question but don't actually click on it but I feel I'm maybe insulting your intellience to even suggest this..
However I can't see anything else that would cause this to happen. Fundamentally I don't think there is anything wrong with your approach it's just odd behaviour..
If you copy the walls in question out into a clean project does the same issue still exist?

I think it may be a non-editable wall issue. You created worksets and one wall or both is in a non-editable workset.

Badkube,
when i pasted the walls in a new project they worked fine. I even tried pasting them back to the original file, but there the problem persisted.
WW,
if it is a workset problem, there would be a warning of some sort, no? i mean, when i tried working as a different user, it said i didn't have permission to edit and to ask the original user. After going back to my user and granting editing permission to the second user, I went back and tried to edit the join and it was gray...
I tried working on the central file but the same problem happened.
is there a way to make it so everything is in the same workset after the creation of the central file? this is my first project using colaborations and I am still learning how it works.

Badkube and WW,
It is a worset problem somehow. When i detached the local file i have from the central and chose not to keep the worsets the edit join tool worked again. Is there a way to fix this without detaching the file, doing the changes and making a new central file?

The workset you are working in is displayed at the bottom of the view. Learn to be aware of that.
You can use any view to mange what worksets items are on. I like 3D. In VG, I would turn off all worksets but the one in question and see what is left. If something belongs on a different workset - change the properties.
When someone first enables worksets or creates a new workset, they own it. You can relinquish all to free that up under the save to central process. I suggest you learn to look at who owns what by using the collaborate tab/click on worksets. Note that there are several items controlled by worksets.

It will not work if the items are not editable. Look at who owns the workset. In most cases, nobody should own worksets - just borrow them.

Both items are borrowed and editable.

OK.... This is not at all normal. It appears that you are working correctly unless you are working in a Design Option. We have been using worksets for many years and this is a stable, predictable process. Maybe, something is wrong with your file. Maybe, something is wrong with your program. I don't believe you said what version you are working in but you should always check to make sure that you are in the latest build - have all updates installed.
Then if your build is latest, you send the project to AutoDESK and have them look at the problem.

Hi WWHub,
I'll do that then. My version is 2013, in the meantime I'll detach the file and recreate the worksets after making the changes.
Thank both you and Badkube for all the help.

Hi Matheus,
Work sets aren't something I have much experience of but if you do get to the bottom of the issue it would be good to hear exactly what it is.
It's useful to know though that work sets can cause this type of issue.
