If a junction needs showing, we can do this by joining dissimilar materials. This is often undesirable. I was told, at an AC18 technical seminar, that AC18 offers an option to show joints without having to used different materials. I haven't been able to find it because I don't know what it is called. Can anyone help?</T></DIV> Fri, 20 Feb 2015 00:10:07 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Do-not-join-same-materials/m-p/247374#M131042 KeesW 2015-02-20T00:10:07Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Do-not-join-same-materials/m-p/247375#M131043 I think this may be just for Complex Profiles - the same fills automatically remain separated.<BR /> I can't see any settings to control other elements with the same surfaces.<BR /> <BR /> Barry.
