Wall closure disappear when setting floor plan to projected

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi

I have a weird problem with wall closures that is driving me nuts. As soon as I switch the floor plan display from simple to projected in the windows selection settings the wall closures around the window is disappearing.

Please see attached pictures for visualization of the problem.

Is this problem known? Is there a fix?

I am using Archicad 19.

I think this is because the Wall Closure is scripted in 2D only. This is what is displayed when the Symbolic option is selected.

However, when a "Projected" option is selected, ARCHICAD cuts the Wall and Windows 3D geometry with a horizontal plane and generates their 2D. In case of the Window, the Wall Closure geometry is not generated in 3D so it cannot be generated on the Floor Plan with the "Projected" option either.
