Interior Elevation Views / Renovation Filters

I am having an issue for a project set up with renovation filters and the resulting views in the interior elevation views. Specifically:

• the Interior Elevation views are set up as "New Construction"
• some walls are "Existing" and some are "New Construction"

The issue is that the side bounding walls do not show up if the walls are "new". They do show up if "existing". If the new walls are changed to existing, they show up! This issue is only for walls (i.e., no issue with slabs or roofs). Also, changing the settings in the Interior Wall Tools dialog box for Cut Elements or Boundary Contours has no effect for the "new" walls.

Has anyone else run into this? Is there a setting in the renovation filters or wall settings that I am missing?

It could be related to a problem I am having with the floor and ceiling slabs.
I believe this also affects composite walls at the edges of your sections/elevations.

Are your walls composite walls?
If so try changing one to a regular solid or vectorial fill and see what happens.

Barry, thanks for the reply. I saw your thread and read "composite" but was thinking "complex profiles" so I didn't make the connection. Yes the issue is with composite fills and goes away with solid fills.

I think I have a work around that works for me anyway. Based on the fact that solid fills in walls and slabs show up as cut edges to an interior elevation, I set up a renovation filter for "interior elevations" with both existing and new set up as override with fills set to solid. This seems to work for me just fine, since I don't really want the composites/construction detail for interior elevations anyway.
