Is there a way to fix these missing lines for the 2D symbol of windows. It looks messy as is. Pic attached
Thanks in advanced

If you still prefer the Symbolic settings initially, you can adjust the window width to be same as wall for representations sake. I hope it helps!

Thank you very much for your report and comment regarding this issue!
As far as I know, this is a limitation of how Archicad display windows contours in 2D in case the frame thickness is larger than the wall thickness. Could you help me to understand why this is necessary? In reality, usually, the wall is thicker than the window frame. The casing is a different part and can be set independently from the window frame.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,

I think the question here is not whether there is any case when this happens. I think there can be cases when there is no casing and the Frame is indeed thicker than the wall because that's how the architect or designer wants it.
I think the point here is that if you look at how the Window looks when the Floor Plan Display is set to "Projected" - that is how the Symbollc display options should look, too.

Thank you for your comment! I would like to ask for a real-world use case, because it would make the request much stronger if our Product Management team see that there is a strong case for displaying such objects in a real-life situation.

I've attached a pic to show you a real-life example. This is a common detail used by architects, both internally and externally.
When I use this detail in Archicad, I have to clean up my reveals in plan view with 2D line work. Not ideal.
Thanks
