Despite having "Floor Plan and Section > Wall end lines" set to "Both", I'm missing the end line on this uncut wall in a view.

Any ideas as to why, and how to show it?

Thanks.

One thing to check is whether the wall is intersecting another wall on a hidden layer that has the same Intersection Group number.

Nope, nothing anywhere near it, on any other layer nor storey.

Is it a Composite wall? Check you don't have Skin End Lines set to Hide in the composite's settings.

Brilliant, Stuart - That was it! It was a composite - an existing one that I'd modified - so it was obviously set to "hide" from the previous definition. I hadn't noticed that you could set the end line behaviour from the composite - something learn't from the forums, yet again! So many thanks for the suggestion

That post is from 7 years ago, so the interface has changed. In the Composite Structures dialog box, the 3rd from left column has a check box for showing/hiding the end line of each skin. In the Help files see:User Interface Reference > Dialog Boxes > Composite Structures Dialog Box.
