Probably place the walls and the columns in separate layers.

 

In the layer combinations where you see the wall but not the columns, ensure the column layer has a different Intersection Group Number compared to the one for the wall.

 

In layer combinations where you do want to see both, ensure the column layer has the same Intersection Group Number compared to the one for the wall.

Hi Barry

They are...columns in structural and walls...well in walls.

The priority of the structural concrete in the corefills displaces the walls and is correct in every other way

Changing the layer IGN makes no diff? Its not an intersection in normal terms...:-)

You want to hide the columns and the holes they automatically cut based on building material strengths?

If that is so, then it works for me.
