About Joining Walls
Use the Join tool to connect two walls in a sheet metal part. When the walls are intersecting, you can trim the nonintersecting portions of the walls. When the walls are not intersecting, you can extend the edges of the walls until they meet. In both cases, you can add a bend and bend relief at the intersections, as well as flip the orientation of the intersecting walls where applicable.
Keep in mind the following points when joining walls:
• The intersecting walls must be planar.
• The driving and offset sides of the walls to join are swapped automatically, if necessary, to match the sides of the earliest wall created.

Swapping the driving and offset sides can change the location of sheet metal cuts located on the walls. For example, when you reorder a Join feature in the Model Tree and reinsert it before a cut that references an automatically swapped side, the location and the geometry of the removed material may change.
