View Objects on all relevant stories

When placing objects, I have tried using the show on stories "all relevant stories" option, however, it is hit and miss as to which objects this actually works on.

What's happening here and how can you tell which objects this will work on and which ones it won't?

It has to do with object's actual ZZYZX (native height) parameter, whether it crosses the story threshold or not.

I did a test where i placed a cube with the "all relevant stories" option set and it'll only show on the upper story when its placement height+height make it cross the upper story line. Same for stories below.

Also depends on the fact if "ac_bottomlevel" and "ac_toplevel" are set correctly in the GDL-object.
Both parameters are usually hidden from users sight.

If "ac_bottomlevel" is higher than the toplevel the "show on all relevant stories" option will definitely not work.
