I am remodeling a building for class, but am having issues with joining walls. One wall is in the existing phase while the other is in new construction. How do I connect them?

Thanks for your help in advance!

They should join automatically when they intersect?  If you aren't experiencing this please post a screenshot of you exact issue as I expect there is more to the story...

I forgot to mention that I am demolishing a wall and adding a wall that intersect with that. I attached a picture for you. When I delete the demolished wall then the new and existing connect. Basically, for my class I need to show a demo plan and also a new floor plan. I am creating the new wall in the demo plan...is this what is creating the problem?

Thanks!

I've found that disallowing joins at the end of the wall(s) sometimes makes it easier to show correctly in each view.  Right click on the blue dot at the end of the wall and select disallow join.

You can create the wall in any view as long as you set it to the correct phase.  Your problem is what do you want to see?  You have several choices in the view properties - phase filter.   Experiment with that to see how it works. 

But basically, Revit will always have a line between new and existing because they are not the same.  If you don't want that line in plan (you should) then use the linework tool.
