Make a wall extend to another wall (...to fill a gap) under a certain condition

Hey guys! I am currently making a wall placement system and I am trying to replicate a thing from bloxburg as shown in the picture below:

The picture displays that a wall model has two parts inside. That is what I am trying to outline. Where the different colours represent either inner or outer(… such as yellow/orange and respectively for outer would be green/red)

I have a placement system where I ‘draw’ the walls by instancing a part relative to the two given points that gets created upon this function.
An example code shown below:

Now onto accomplishing what I want. It would require for me to store poles/points in a table and when two points intersect (… probably by using runservice in combination with :GetTouchings), I will have to determine 2 things.

  1. Is it either the outer-walls that needs to resize (Green and red) or the inner walls (yellow and orange) - I can do this by looking at the angles but I am stumbling on how to accomplish this because I am not familiar with this area.
  2. Now when have determined this, only one wall needs to extend but I have no idea how to re-(position/adjust size) my wall to accomplish this task.

I’m a bit confused, are you trying to have this happen at runtime? Or is this a helper for your building?

If its the latter, there’s a plugin that I use to help me resize parts to intersect with other parts called ResizeAlign.

If you need it to work at runtime, then you can once again install the plugin, then go to
%localappdata%/Roblox/InstalledPlugins/165534573
and try and reverse-engineer the code used in the plugin.

Hope this helps!

I’d still have to determine which sides of the wall that needs extending. Extracting a piece of code from that plugin isn’t what I am looking for.
