[Bug?] Common edge of two objects do not display

[Hoa Tu]

Hi All,

I have problem with some objects when joined together the vertical joining edge do not display.

I have narrowed down to the test case shown in the attached file.

The object has a very simple prism:

PRISM_ 5, 1,
0, 0, 15,
0.6, -0.6, 15,
-0.6, -0.6, 15,
-0.6, 0, 15,
0, 0, -1

Any one has a solution or work around ? Please help.

Regards,
Hoa

Another workaround is to duplicate the Material you use for the Window's Wall piece and apply this newly created material to it. This way you will have two identical Materials which have different index numbers so ArchiCAD will consider them different and will not remove the common edge.

Hi Laszlo, that's exactly what i said in a previous post.

Another way, may be easier, if you need to use prism_ command.
Make a copy of the first material, and use it for the second object.
Lines will show, without changing any code.
