Composite Walls Name Partially Hidden

TamN — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 19:49:49 GMT

Not sure if this is the right sub but I'm having trouble seeing the composite wall names in their entirety. It's always partially hidden. This doesn't matter where the list is. I'm on Windows 11 with Archicad 25. My colleague is on Windows 10 and experiencing the same problem. See attached for what I mean.

@TamN , you can open Composites from options menu then Attributes Manager then Composites or by selecting the wall and right click then Edit Selected Composite, there you will see all composite layers clearly.

I know I can see and edit the wall layers through the composite option, that not my problem. I want to see the full name of the wall type in the drop-down menu so I can quickly choose the right wall type.

Because the composite wall list is a multi-column list, I assume Archicad has to set a maximum width for each column.

At least now it shows you the 'start and .... end' of the name.

Before it used to just show the first 20 or 30 characters and then cut it off.

If you look at the complex profile wall list, you will see it is a single column and shows the full width of the profile names.

I am not aware of any way to make the composite list a single column.

I'm going through training and the instructor uses Mac and can see the full names of the walls. It doesn't seem like there's a fix on the user side. Maybe Graphicsoft can fix it for the next update.
