Wall not breaking, wall symbols not aligning.

Hi All,
For some reason a section of the outer wall will not break and nor do symbols align, any one know why and how to fix it? JPEG and FCW attached.

Make sure layer for walls and wall features are not frozen. Did that to myself just a couple of days ago.
Is that the last section of the polygon you drew? It's possible that the section between the first and last node in the polygon is problematic for symbol control points to interact with.
To fix this, try adding an extra node on the polygon in that section, and place it on the same spot as the starting node. If that doesn't help, do send me the drawing and I'll take a look.
Make sure the walls are actually ON the wall layer - I have made that mistake a few times.
Thanks @JimP but I think @Ralf is on the money. I’ll try your solution Ralf when I work on it next, probably Thursday, thanks.
You're welcome. And @Quenten mentioned my other problem.
Yes, I checked the sheet & layers. I even hid the construction layer & sheet just to be sure they weren't interfering with the walls which is why I think Ralf's will likely work. I'm pretty sure I started the polygon very close, if not on, the bottom horizontal line with the red marker.
Check the number of entities you have there, and make sure it agrees with what you expect. In the past I've sometimes copied a section of wall to the floors sheet/layer, which will not cut.
Thanks @seycyrus. Did that when I ran a LIST to check the entity number for that section and another part that worked correctly (thinking that they may have been separate entities such as when you use the line tool - even though I knew it was unlikely).
Well, I couldn't resolve the issue by adding nodes, so I just re-drew it; quicker, and for me at least, easier.
I'll start a WIP thread for this commission.
