I am trying to place a wall cap and it keeps stating it has an overlap. I previously had a wall beneath it but it still had an overlap.
I would show a pic but no links or uploads allowed.
I had this exact issue on a solo build I was doing in Aquilonian. There was plenty of stability, and I even tried building another wall that still couldn’t be capped (7 high from the foundation level). Removed the walls below it and replaced, removed the ceiling tiles nearby, but nothing.
My only suggestions would be to leave the area for awhile, and then (maybe) perhaps it’ll let you place it later…

Remove doors or hatches. (back to inventory) try again.
Remove(dismantle) door frame or hatchframe. try again.
Note that doors and hatches are placables, so can be taken back in your inventory, other to the frames, wich will have to be dismantled.
(*remind this solution, even if it was not your fit in this case. it occured to me very often)
Hope this is your solution, good luck.
I can confirm. I can hardly ever place a ceiling above a door frame if the door is in. Temporarily removing the door like Arizer says will usually solve it.

Even hatches further away ( and probably door too )can effect structures wich you will probably have noticed too, its tricky and need to keep it in mind as its not always obvious a door or hatch close.
Sometimes i ended up removing all doors and hatches and place them in the end.
If we add the refreshing delay/lag (“can’t place”) in this context, we can safely conclude some experience is needed to build atm.
Thanks for your reply Mikey, as it’s always good having solutions confirmed by others, it makes them more valuable for all.

I don’t want to harass Funcom but building should be more friendly. It obviously needs an overview doesn’t it?
An overview? Do you mean an overhaul?
But yeah, sure, there’s a multitude of minor bugs with the building system that could benefit from being fixed. But in my opinion there’s more important bugs to fix - most of the building system bugs have workarounds, even if they’re often expensive (“tear down a part of your build and try again”).
Yes hahaha, i tapped the wrong word in my smartphone. My fingers are far larger than the buttons. Thanks.
Yes, agreed. First things first. They’ll need first to fix the lag problem in almost any official server. I can barely play the game on PvP mode! O.s. 3601 was going well and i’ve grown to level 60. Now i can’t do anything else then get stuck into my base because it lags too much and i can’t even open the stupid doors. If i was to make a list of the bugs and small issues in this game it would be a book bigger than the holly bible…
