Ive created a mesh in the 'renovation' filter, and copied this to the proposed filter. If I make changes in this, will ArchiCAD calculate and show and cut/ fill in the demolition filter?</T></DIV> Thu, 25 May 2023 14:52:15 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Mesh-phases/m-p/257736#M135322 Anonymous 2023-05-25T14:52:15Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Mesh-phases/m-p/367944#M164374 <P>I know this is an old question, but meshes are a weak point in Archicad's toolset - they do not participate in material priority intersections, nor to edges in plan clean up like with slabs.
