[Equest-users] Internal Wall Problems with Wizard

[Ömer Moltay]

Hi Robby,

Thanks a lot. Learned something very important today.

Another problem that I am having with internal walls: There are internal 
walls missing in some zones and I have no clue as to why. You will see 
these in the attached images as thin lines. The walls are missing from 
the selected zone (grayed), but the neighboring zone has walls in the 
same place.

In 01.jpg, all three internal walls of the smaller zone are missing.

In 02.jpg, some internal walls are missing and some are not.

This floor has been recreated according to your advice with additional 
vertices.

I think there is more to internal walls in Wizard that I do not know.

Best regards,
