Composite Wall Not Working Properly

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 07:03:34 GMT

Hello guys, I've been having troubles with
the composite walls and complex profiles in AC 17.
I use the exact same complex profiles, and in one side
it appears correctly, and in the other one appears wrong,
like some glitch, I don't know.
I attached 2 pictures, so you can understand better.

Thank you!

Another glitch or error in the walls i've have encountered, I'm gonna attach 2 pictures of the 3 exact same walls, just moving the reference lines, but in the 2 cases the reference lines are always colliding.

I really don't quite understand how this walls and "smart" materials work,
if someone please could point me to a video, (not the ones in www.graphisoft.com) or a explanation, or something.

Thank you in advance

What is it specifically that you do not understand about "smart" materials?
And what is it that you do understand?

[Basically, every Building Material (BM) has an Intersection Priority Number (IPN) defined for it in the Building Materials Settings Dialog. When two structures, like a Wall and a Slab collide in 3D, the program takes each pair of skins of each colliding pair of elements and performs the following action: the skin with the BM having the higher IPN will cut its geometry out of the geometry of the skin it collides with that has a BM with a lower IPN.]

Thank you for answering! Lazlo

I agree with your explanation, but what I don't get is why
when the reference line is in the center, with BM IPN set correctly
still deforms the wall, and when it is in the side, it appears correctly. (see 2 last attached pictures)

Thanks in advance.

I think it may be file-related.
If you can copy-paste these few Wall intersections into a PLN file and put it up on Dropbox or something, I can take a look at it.
