Element Cut Fill

Is it possible to assign different cut fills to 3D elements in GDL? I didn't think so but i would love to be proven wrong again

I have a detailed object which unfortunately requires 2D overlay fills to seperate the different components (steel, timber, etc). This kind of defeats the purpose of having a parametric object ...
cheers,

Maybe SECT_FILL or SECT_ATTRS will be, what you are looking for. Just use it as SET MATERIAL to switch the cut fill settings.

Edit:
There is a bug in AC9, which merges different section fills to one, if the object is used in (certain) SEO-Operations. I think it is fixed in 10, but proof before long programming times.
