2D settings of a fence

Hi guys!

Is there any way to show a line on the railing between 2 different parts even if the material is the same?

This is how the railing looks like:

And this is how it looks in the section:

I would like to have a line where two parts touch each other (markd with red).
Any ideas?

Operating system used: Windows 11 Pro 23H2

Workaround/Hack: Can you offset one of those sub-element by 0.1 mm or so? Archicad will sense that they do not touch and will draw the line. The 0.1 mm value is small enough so that it will not be visible in 3D or in the documentation or in dimensions.

Also if you go into ‘edit’ mode, you can select various components and do Solid Element Operations on them.

This is good advice, I will do that.

Another option is to duplicate the material and use two different materials with the same settings.
