Minor inconsistency in section and elevation icons

BulldogBen — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 07:23:00 GMT

As a new user trying to understand exactly what I'm seeing in the Navigator, I think I've found a minor inconsistency. In the clone folders the icons for section and elevation differ by a horizontal line, but the icon is the same for sections and elevations even in a new project:

Hopefully it's clear from my screenshots above, and that fixing this will help reduce cognitive dissonance for a few new users?

(Unless I've missed something and am making a total **beep** of myself of course)

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon

That is a keen eye to spot that.

I can confirm in 29 that the wrong icon is used for the cloned elevation folder.

It shows a section icon with a cut line for the ceiling.

Certainly not the case in version 25.

I am not sure what version it broke in, 26, 27 or 28.

Fortunately it does not affect anything other than aesthetics.

AC27 has the same inconsistency. So that may narrow it down - from which version it appeared.

Your screenshot is so much clearer than mine too!

Thanks for your input everyone.

Even though it's minor I think the only acceptable fix is a tweak in the next Hotfix.

I appreciate that as the busy-work of copy and pasting issues from one place to another isn't much fun, so I appreciate you doing it for me.

The error starts at Archicad 26

at Archicad 25 it is still correct
