Zero Depth Section/Elevation 8.1 BUG

Anonymous

Zero Depth Section/Elevation won't recognize Mesh in 8.1.
Same thing happens with surface elements imported in ArchiCAD (DXF).

Anyone with a same problem?

Mesh with thickness or just the top surface?

Sounds like you've discovered a limitation of the section tool. It doesn't surprise me though that it has trouble making a zero depth cut of something with zero thickness. I suspect you could work around this by just making it a very, very shallow (1mm) section depth.

Yes this could be a good work around but still you get a lot of redundant lines. That's why Zero Depth Section is made for, hope it will work one day.
