Fill issue in interior elevations view

Ugljesa Janjic — Wed, 17 May 2023 07:18:56 GMT

Does anyone know how to fix the fill overlapping the bathroom fixtures in interior elevations? Please see the attached image for clarification.
The fill works just fine in floor plans, it goes around the fixtures. But not in elevations.
I know I can mask the fixtures with a background fill and fix it that way, but shouldn't this be more automatic?
Just a question.
No urgency.
Thanks.

Ugljesa,

It will be easier and better in the long run to get used to modelling the tile. A thin wall drawn in where it actually goes would read properly in Elevation and Section views. It appears that the library parts do not mask in Elevation View.

Cheers,

I sometimes use fills in cases like this. In elevation settings Model Display if you set Uncut Elements to Uniform Pen Colour, either white pen or window background (-1), you can then select the object and bring forward in display order to be in front of the fill.

Hi,

Or you can set the limit line of interior elevation market just slightly before the wall. Then send your fill in the elevation to back. That will work.

This would only work if the fill was set in the composite settings for the wall.
Then it would lead to other problems.
You wouldn't see any doors/windows in this wall and you would need two walls stacked on top of each other - one with the hatch and one without.'

In this case I believe the fill was added manually to the elevation so adjusting the section line won't help.

I actually use a tile object that I place on the wall (rather than a second wall in front) and it can be stretched to whatever size or shape is necessary.

Do a search for tiles in the object settings dialogue and see if anything turns up in your loaded library or possibly BIM Components.

The advantage of modelling as much as you can in 3D is you can avoid situations like this and it will be visible in any 3D views as well.

Barry.

Very risky. You wouldn't see any windows or doors in the wall if you did that.

Oh Of course it will not see any. I should be clear about that as my suggestion was based on his particular case where it seems a manual fill laid behind object.
