Cabinets - hide lines in between

[cocoloco]

Hi! how do I remove these lines ? It is already painful that archicad cabinetry library is not customizable enough for designers so I had to create 3 cabinets instead just ONE with different segments and types... Finally I build the 3 cabinets (already a painful experience) , now these lines shows everywhere! I turned off everything in setting and it is still there. there are connected perfectly and have same finish, so it should hide the lines.... I tried also different display orders but nope, nothing works.

- Floor plan shows ok, all seamless, the cabinet edge visibility on side is turned on for a reason and must stay however the other side is turned off and should not show anywhere and especially not in countertop and baseboard.. I mean... I would have to literally explain the carpenter, piece by piece please don't make cuts, it's my software... and no not a free one.
- regarding floor plan, note worth saying, that countertop visibility also does not show, neither backsplash is ... also can't see each line to be customized for one or another (cabinetry/drawers openings, backsplash, carsas...)

@archicad better come with some *real* updates for interior designers and intuitive work based on feedbacks received for years, because I won't be renewing if I have to spend many hours with workarounds taking hours to find , learn or just simply don't work

I do some slight updates, which is great but … it’s obvious they never got feedback from someone who actually works in archicad, because they would adress that the cabinets show lines in between when 3 cabinets or more needs to be (needs to be in archicad) created 🫠

It already works, Barry. You might have missed it, it's in the newer commands.

As an example look at cprism_{3}:

That is fine for adjoining CPRISMs in the same object.

But if two of those objects touch each other, they will not blend together.

Did you actually try it?

Because in my screenshot is just one object, placed 4 (!) times! 😉

So yes, it works as advertised, and they WILL blend together.

This might convince you:

 

Works in all dimensions:

Yep I get it now.

The mask value affects the individual CPRISMs within the object as well as those for adjoining objects.

I was using the example from the GDL manual with the 4 cubes next to each other, but didn't change the mask values.

So it depends which edges of objects touch.

The mask values are for top (1), bottom (2) & side (4)  (or any combination thereof 3, 5, 6 or 7).

When corresponding masked edges touch, the join will be eliminated.

Set them all as mask = 7 and all edges disappear.

Out of curiosity, can you actually set that mask value of “7” in the cabinets dialogue box ? Or do you have to edit the GDL script of the actual cabinet in question ?

[Barry Kelly]

The cabinet would have to be scripted using the CPRISM{3} command.

The mask value could be set as a parameter that the user could alter in the object settings.

I doubt the default Graphisoft objects will be scripted this way.

I am currently working on my own cabinet objects, and now this has given me ideas for them.

I currently have a hotspot switch to turn edge lines on or off.

I may be able to eliminate that now.
