Composite Bug - inconsistant scale/display of skins

Steve Jepson — Fri, 26 May 2023 10:28:08 GMT

I don't think the display of this Composite floor(hardwood-plywood-insulation) should change scale of the skins when there is something in front of it. In this case it is a beam. Notice the scale of the insulation skin that shows below the beam, and how it changes when the beam obscuring it is deleted.

This is only a problem when the Section is cutting through the beam so it is not a very important. It would be good though if this could be fixed.

Steve,

Thank you for pointing this out. I'll put it into our database.

Best regards,

Steve,

I think this happens because the Cut Fill of the Building Material used for the insulation is a Symbol Fill and its Fill Orientation is set to "Fit to Skin" in the Building Materials Dialog.
If you choose another Fill Orientation, or if you select a non-Symbol Fill (only Symbol Fills have the "Fit to Skin" option available for them), the issue will be solved.
