By default, Revit creates a join where 2 walls intersect. However, you can prevent joins for a selected wall whenever necessary.
For example, if you want to keep small expansion spaces between walls, you can do so by disallowing joins for either of the adjacent wall ends.

Disallowing joins is also useful for resolving complex joins. For example, if you add a wall to a complex join and it produces undesired results, you can disallow joins on the added wall and then use the Join Geometry tool to clean the join between this wall and other walls.
