Corridor Model Gaps between Template Drops

Hello,

I am trying to model two different types of retaining walls. The two types of retaining walls are both distinctively different shapes that will not transition into each other and will be modeled to display flush with each other.

I have display rules created so that the wall generates based on the height of the end condition.

Type A Wall : End Condition > 5ft
Type B Wall : End Condition </= 5ft

The issue that I am running into is that at the “abrupt transition” point between the two types of walls ends up being a gap in my corridor model. It should instead generate the two types of walls flush with each other.

Ive tried feature name overrides which solves the gap but ends up triangulating the top of wall from one wall type to another which I don’t want.

I’ve tried setting the components up to be two separate template drops without any success either. For example:

Wall Template A STA 0+00 to 50+00
Wall Template B STA 50+00 to 100+00

Even though I’m manually telling the model to drop the two types of walls flush at station 50+00 there ends up being a gap between the two types of walls.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Is there a market for part time work in ORD? Guessing there is not, but thought I’d reach out and ask? Just a guy looking to make a little extra money on the side - 5 years of design experience, 2 in ORD - have my PE, but not looking to use license.
