ishpalsingh,
I was able to get the intersection to work.
I used the cylinder shape for the post
and the tube shape with the tube wall thickness
set to equal the tube radius for the beam.
I selected the beam as target, the post as
operator, and did an "addition" type SEO.

ishpalsingh,
Please see attached image.
Perhaps it is clearer.
Note that even though I always select the
"Elements will use their own attributes" button,
the pen for the intersection is always a rust color.
I believe this is a known bug.

ishpalsingh,
First, SEO does not show in, or affect the plan view.
If you have to show the result of a SEO in plan
you will have to use lines and fills to fake it.
I am puzzled that you can't see the SEO in elevation.
The last image on the right is the elevation view of the
post and beam after the SEO was performed.
I can't think of any section/elevation display settings
which would cause you to not be able to see the SEO
except "rebuild and regenerate". Have you tried
holding down "option" (mac), "alt" (pc) and "command" keys
then go to Display menu and select "rebuild model S/E" ?
What do you you see in the Section/Elevation window ?

Tip:
To spend a time on "2D intersections representaion job" and do not draw all manual (or do half-manual), copy/paste from 3D view (using rect. mask) into 2d working environment.
OR
Create(save as gdl obj.) and then explode GDL Object.

i would like to know how do u create knee connectors like u see in the farms mail2.pdf i attached in my post.i think they have done it in 2d
then how do u create connectors in 2d over 3d rafters
how will u erase lines of 3d objects to make way for 2d lines
plz help

ishpalsingh,
The PDF you posted was apparently made from a raster image
with such poor resolution it is impossible to see any detail
such as the knee connectors you are talking about.
Is there any way you can give us more information ?
Perhaps a detail drawing showing dimensions, material, etc.
I for one, have no idea whether this knee brace is made out of wood
or steel, how big it is, what it's shape is,
is it an assembled object or one piece.
You see the problem.
Thank you,
Peter Devlin

ishpalsingh,
This image is a lot clearer.
You are apparently using a pole framing building system with
standardized parts such as axis connector and knee connector.
I am unfamiliar with these connectors as I have never seen
a building made with this particular building system.

I did a search on the Internet using key words like
"HS Unilog Rafter" and "Knee Connector" to try to educate myself
but could not find any reference to this building system.

I would like to try to help you model your building in Archicad
but I really need more information in order to do so.

If you could draw a detail showing the geometry
of this connector, it would help.

Thank you,
Peter Devlin

ishpalsingh,
I tried again on the Internet and found "Unilog".
It is a pole framing system and I might be able
to figure what these connectors are and therefor
how to model them in Archicad.

ishpalsingh,
I think I understand these connectors and they are very easy to make
In Archicad. You can either make the complete pole frame including
the connectors using TrussMaker or just make the connectors
using TrussMaker. Use the hollow section and circular profile.
The attached image is of a pole frame with connectors using TrussMaker.
