Wrapped End - Visibility in Section/Elevation

Tincan561 — Tue, 30 May 2023 08:02:46 GMT

I have a wrapped wall end, which works fine in plan.
How do I turn off the visibility of the wrapped end line meeting the wallboard in S/E views?

We are having this issue also - seems impossible that there wouldn't be a way to make the line disappear.

Did you ever find a solution?

Thanks!

One of the best, probably the best workaround is to model it with a custom profile column (made with complex profile).
I've learnt here in the forum and it works.

Well, there is no solution. There is an error in GDL code of this object that prevents it from working right. PM me if you need this object fixed.

I think the best workaround (as with any object in the default library) is to spend a few minutes finding and correcting errors made by original programmers and get any object working right.
While at it, we can also add an option for this "wall end object" to match/reassign wall materials (as it does not do that). See resulting image attached.

Anton,
of course if you are able to code and code-understand what you said is right.
Anyway Archicad most of the times gives us great flexibility to achieve what we need in multiple ways ... That's why we love it!
