Complex profile section through window without lines

Anonymous

Hello everyone, this is my first post here, I have not been able to find that someone wrote about this problem.

When a section is made through a window in a wall that is made as a complex profile, no lines are displayed above and below the window.



Does anyone have a solution to this problem, and if not, that bug should be repaired.

In the Profile Manager, select the fills used in the composite and be sure that you have 'Show Cut End Lines' active.

Thanks! I don't know how I didn't see that.

There is another issue. How to change wall closure on windows upper side? I know how to change left and right side, but can't find for upper side.

Maybe I should make another topic for this question?

Within your section? You cannot. It is a limitation of the software... Sections are generated from the 3D script of which there is not scripting for a top or bottom closure, while the for the plan, it is scripted in the 2D script.

Ok, thanks! Maybe it should be considered for future versions of models.

So, it is actually not a limitation of the software, because ARCHICAD could do it.
It is the limitation of the Library Part, which is not generating Reveals in 3D, only 2D.

Well, a limitation of most, if not all, of the default library parts.
