I was just wondering if the Beam vs Column priority intersection has any effect on how it calculates their individual volumes? <BR /> <BR /> Say if I have a column with a higher priority and I have a beam that intersects it, will it deduct that intersection from the beam? <BR /> <BR /> Is there a way to do that so as to make the calculations more accurate? <BR /> <BR /> Thanks and any insights into this will be much appreciated.</T></DIV> Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:24:09 GMT Anonymous 2013-02-21T15:24:09Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Calculation-and-Beam-Column-Intersections/m-p/120714#M12375 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>Hi, I've been using Archicad for less than a year and I'm trying to make the most of its Calculation capabilities.
