Wall under stair not displaying correctly

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 06:22:31 GMT

New Archicad user struggling with various idiosyncrasies. I have a wall under a stair which I cut using Solid Element Operations. Worked fine as the image shows. In plan view, the wall is showing through the stairs. I just can't figure this out.

Solid Element Ooerations are not considered in the floor plan representation. If you want a correct representation you should do split the wall into two walls, one is the wall underneath the stair before the cut line and it has to be put on a hidden layer, the other wall which is over the cut line of the stair should be put on a visible layer.

That is disappointing but I will implement your solution. Thanks.

KrisM:

You can use the Display Order to Bring the Stair Forward of the Wall, and set the Fill of the Hidden Part to be transparent.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
