Material intersection problem???

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 11:52:12 GMT

Two walls has perfect intersection in flor pan and in section, but in 3D their materials don't intersect the way i like. One is glassed and other one is concrete. Edge material of concrete wall becomes glassed, but it should stay concrete. What should I do?

Create a tiny gap at the intersection.

Fine. As if you pointed that out before, eh?

Make a short return for the concrete wall.

Also: This isn't magic.

Archicad tries to be a realistic modeller.

How would a tilted wall of glass meet a tilted wall of concrete?

Does the concrete return?
Does the glass overshoot?
If you think through the architectural issue, then you can model it.

Works for me....

Are those 2 walls on the same layer? Because if they are not, then your output might be a result of both layers with different Layer Intersection Group numbers...
