problem in 3d wiev with object side line visibility

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 15:09:30 GMT

In Archicad 10 I have no possibility to see cennection line (join) between two identical objects. It is bad. Have I any possibility to see this line in 3d shading or hidden lines mode?

If you use two different materials you will get a line. If you want the materials to be identical just use two different names.

Thanks, but this is not a way out. I have much identicals objects to conect.
And each object group contains diferent materials. In this case I must duplicate all materials If this is only way to get this line, then i so this problem like a bug of the programm

I assume you are using the slab tool to create your "objects". ArchiCAD will join slabs or walls with identical material names. That's why I suggested to create two identical materials with different names.

But if you have many of these identical "objects" why don't you create a library part? If you have two identical adjoining library parts there will be a line separating them in 3d view.

You could get contourlines, but I can't explain how without knowing what 3d mode you are using and how you have your settings now.

Maybe your settings won't allow you to show contourlines.

Give us more information!

Sadly I cant get this join line between two library parts.
I have made this library parts from wall and slab combination.
See please attch.

This is one of the great features of Archicad - it removes the lines between two elements with the same material! In this way, for example, you do not get unnecessary lines on the elevations between different floors!

Yours is a special case, where you want to have lines - then use the material trick, mentioned before! In 90% of the cases, though, automatical line removal is a good option!

BTW, in AC9 this could be achieved with the Special Menu. I haven't tried it in AC10, though, and as fas as I remember someone mentioned it had been removed from AC.

If you need internal engine, than the only solution to get a line between 2 elements is to make som space between them, it coult be tiny, like 0.1 mm if you want to, but you cant have them place on exactly same point.
But I normaly got lines between too objects like Stig says.

But if you use OpenGL engine instead, you get your line

Coplanar, adjacent faces of the same material always clean up. I agree with Kliment (as do most I am sure) that this is a very important feature not a bug. There are various ways to achieve what you want, but since we don't really know what that is (the actual project requirements) it is difficult to make recommendations.
