Hello archicad monkeys

I have problems with the reveal. Everything is working on floorplan but when we see the results in section it doesn't work. The dimension is ok but fill materials doesn't turning.

Can you help ?!?!?

We model the bit that turns inside (either plaster or wood, or some other panel material) with a shell. It cleans up fine in 3D that way. You can make a 'n'-shape with the shell, which is easy to offset in elevation to correct dimension.

Edit: added screenshot for clarification.

ArchiCAD limitation... The representation in 2D is a coded separately to the 3D of which the section is drawn from and I do not recall there being any objects which replicate the wall materials to build their own 3D returns.
