Intersecting elements that belong to the same Layer Intersection
Group will connect to each other, provided they are drawn correctly.
Exception: Two elements that are both set to
intersection group 0 will NOT intersect.
By default, every layer is set to Group 1, so all intersecting elements
will be joined according to the regular connection rules.

Prevent element connections: Assign different layer intersection groups
You may want to prevent element connections - for example, to show the
details of composite walls. In this case, place the intersecting walls on different layers,
and then give one of these a layers a different Layer Intersection Group number. Elements on
different Layer Intersection Groups will not connect.
Open Layer Settings (Document > Layers > Layer
Settings)
Select the layer of one of the intersection elements.
Edit the value under the intersection icon. Figure 2. Wall Layers Have Different Intersection Group Numbers: No Connections
Note on intersection with hidden
layer: Elements having identical intersection groups will intersect even if one of
the layers is hidden. This may result in “missing” lines, indicating an intersection
with an element on a hidden layer. To avoid this, go to Layer Settings, select one of
the layers, and assign it any different intersection group.
Note: Layer Intersection numbers have nothing to do with element priorities; they
serve merely as tags for grouping elements.
