Hi I've found that 2 walls will not join cleanly when they have different "structural usage" settings. Even if the geometries of the walls are joined, you can see a line at the joint in elevatio. This is fine for most of my walls, since I've changed the structural usage of them all to "bearing". However, I don't know what to do with the stacked walls, as they don't seem to have a "structural usage" dialog in under object properties. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks, and happy new year! Colin

Hello, Sorry in advance if this doesn't help, just throughing some thoughts out. Are you not wanting to see the line down the wall were they don't join in elevation? You could use the linework tool and change the line to invisible in elevation. Also have you tried the Wall Joins tool to see if that fixes it?

If you select the basic walls that the stacked wall is made of, do a "select all instances" and change it to bearing. Then the stacked wall seems to take on the bearing wall properties. I have only tried this in 2011 with the "select all instances in entire project" option. Hope this helps

There is no need to ‘select all instances’. Just hover your mouse over the stacked wall and tab until single basic wall is highlighted, select it and change to structural.

That's true, but I needed to change all exterior walls in a model to structural combined and I was doing so one at a time which was beyond tedious. I didn't even think about selecting all in the project, it saved me hours.

Never mind then. If you want to change them all, selecting all instances is the way to go. I just thought you wanted to change only one instance – the part of the stacked wall.
