Small bug in calculating sloping walls?
Hello Emmanuel:

While drawing a house with sloping walls, I think I have found a small bug. After drawing all the outer and inner walls at an initial standard height (following the floorplan), I start with adjusting the outer walls to their new heights: the front and back wall get different heights, then the connecting walls are made sloping.

The problem arises when splitting the sloping walls. Although at the exact spot where the split is made, the new height is correctly calculated, it seems that this height is not adjusted when you change the location of the split and drag it to a new spot, or define its exact location by manually entering x&y coordinates.

Am I correct? Or am I doing something wrong? While it's just a small file, I attach it here.

1 - If you look at the floorplan, the second "fat" wall from the left was split, then the split was dragged to another place. There's clearly a dent where the "new" split is.
2 - If you look at the "thin" continuous wall further to the right, you can see that it is dented all the way.

I hope you have a solution up your magical sleeve :-)

Thanks,

Hans
