Bimx & wall accessory, a possible bug on the Android version

On the Bimx android version, the 3d cutting plane fonction will not cut a wall accessory, while it will cut the wall on which this accessory is applied.
It is the same issue with some objects( Archistair objects, the elevator object, manubim multipicture, some other GDL objects...)

It is specific to Android as the same model on an IPAD is OK !

That's the expected behavior ... objects do not cut... and accessories are objects.

Hi Karl,

How to explain then that it is working ( and cut ) on the iOS version of Bimx.

Just to be sure that we are talking about the same issue , here is the BIMX feature I was refereing to ( Real-time 3D Cutaway function 😞
http://blog.cadimage.com/2013/03/graphisoft-releases-feature-upgrade-to-bimx-mobile/

here is a quick test :
Draw a rectangular wall place an accessory on it ( design extra/wall accessory ).once exported as Bimx open it on android device & try and activate the 3D cutway function.

In IOS there is an option for the cutplane to cut or not cut objects.
This is the latest BIMx upgrade that allows for hyper-docs as well that is not available on Android yet so maybe this feature is not there?
If it is there does it have any effect?
I would have thought accessory objects would be treated the same as normal objects.

I notice in the Cadimage link you provided the rangehood object is not being cut.

It is then related to the iOS vesrion update .I hope that the android version update is near.
I also think that considering that an accessory wall is linked to a wall, it should follow the wall...whether it's an object or not.
