Hello friends
I created a precast column with GDL. Archicad sees it as an object, not as a column, because it is made via GDL.
Normally when a column passes through a slab, Archicad creates a gap in the slab according to the order of priority, but when it comes to an object, I have to create all these gaps manually in order not to get a conflict error. Is there any way to automatically cut objects as well?
Sorry, my English is not very good.
Thank you

Objects do not take part in automatic Priority Based Connections.
You must perform a Solid Element Operation.
However that column could be created as a segmented column, and if complex profiles are used for the segments, they can also have profile modifiers that can allow for some on screen adjustments.

Thanks @Barry Kelly
But this is a simple version of column. There's no way I can do this with the column tool. I guess I have to SEO the model every time.

You can do some pretty amazing columns with a segmented column.

Archicad segmented columns are great, but the real trick of this column is the oblique consoles. Firstly, I tried to do this by creating a custom profile, but I could not find a way to create oblique consoles that are not symmetrical or overlapping at close heights. So I created an object via gdl.

That would be difficult, as you would need overlapping segments for the different console heights.
GDL is a good way to go.
