Roof lines in elevations

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:15:37 GMT

It seems Ac cannot automatically remove the intersection line between walls and roofs, even if walls are trimmed to roof! Maretials on both roof and wall are the same. It happens on AC10 and AC11.

I need to remove this line when I generate linear elevations. Any ideas? I already gave up!

I really haven't seen this issue, but that's because I usually model roofs in two layers - 1) one thick (insulation etc ) like yours but that stops at the wall's inside, and 2) one thin outer shell that carries the roof cover material.
I only trim the outer walls to #2. Since it's no thicker than the real roofing, the line is supposed to be there anyway.
And both clean up fine in section if materials (or fills) match.

I've noticed that walls and roofs that are on the same story clean up while walls and roofs on different stories don't.

I think the OpenGL Engine is not so good at removing these lines.
Try the Internal Engine in the 3D Window - of course you will not have textures.

Mine do. At least in sections. The Open GL engine is of no significance - I never use it for final presenations.

OpenGL does not affect the problem. It appearsin Int. Engine and Section/elevations too. And I need it in Section/elevations for elevation drawings.

I have had the same problems before. Some walls cleanup and others don't. Strange. But I have found that if you SEO the wall to roof instead of Trim To Roof they cleanup. That is the work around that has worked for me in the past, when there is that one wall that just won't cooperate.

I can think of one way, although possibly not the easiest. Set the edge of the roof something like 2mm back from the outer wall face, set the wall height to the top of the exposed roof edge, and then do an SEO between the roof and wall. You get a remaining sliver of wall covering the roof edge, which looks good in 3D and section/elevation.
