That is most likely caused by your Composite Wall settings. The End Line is turned off.

Thank for the answer.

What do you do went you have a profile as a wall, what do you do.

Options => Complex Profiles => Profile Manager => [Relevant Profile] => Edit => [Relevant Fill] => Components - Default => Show Cut End Lines

Hello,

I hope I can borrow this topic as my problem might be similar - graphics (I think). I created custom window with complex profile (don't know if I am supposed to use complex profile for custom windows?), saved it as object --> window. When I insert the new custom window into the floorplan it loks like it is in "wireframe" mode (all the lines are visible even ones that are below the frame - see the attached picture). It looks fine in the section and 3d view.

Is there a way I can apply a cut fill to window (prefferbly white) so that lines that should not be visible in floorplan are not visible? I hope I explained it in way that is understandable.

Thank you

Try changing the windows floor plan display.

Basic Window Settings => Floor Plan and Section => Floor Plan Display => Projected

For your wall ends, see above.

If you want to use the 'Symbolic' floor plan display for your windows, then you can edit the '2D symbol' in the window script.
You can edit the image to show just how you want it to appear in plan.
i.e. you can add opening lines if you want.
Make sure that anything in the 2D script is commented out, as if there is any valid script in there it will use that and not the 2D symbol.
