Different materials in the cross section, but why are they being merged?

This is the window I made.
Why does this phenomenon appear in cross section?
The material is the state designated as gs_sash_mat and gs_glass_mat, respectively.

GS door: glass fill - Graphisoft Community

In this case, prism_ status code is set to 5.

So how should the frame and sash be treated?

In section body with same fill merged. You need set different fills in code, with sect_fill

or...make a gap between elements.

But what about in standard windows?

I thought it would be possible to use a different section fill for the surface, but I found out that wasn't possible.
Other surfaces have also been merged.
So, I decided that I had to use sect_fill.

The default frame cut fill is "Background", sash cut fill is "Air space". They look the same, but are different attributes, so they don't merge.

thank you I understand that the section material should be different, and I decided to create and use BG_Frame1,2 and BG_Sash.
