View options for walls in plan

rm
Expert

This is a scenario that pops up for us constantly and is a problem Graphisoft should really explain why they don't address this issue.

 

Model a short or multi-story wall on a "lower story" tall enough to show up in the cut plane height illustrating all the materials in the wall.  Move a story up and assume you need to see that wall in plan, that was placed on the "lower story".  Guess what, often there is NO clean solution to have this happen.

 

The big question is, why can't we show a wall in plan on any story, irrespective of what story it was placed on, like with roofs and slabs?!?!?  Why does this inconsistent behavior of the most used construction tool/element (walls) exist?  It makes no sense at all.

 

Graphisoft, you NEED to fix this!!!

Consistent settings between tools has been a wish for many years...
