Can't see separator lines of composite walls in section.

I see the separator lines in plan view but not in section.
When I select the wall in section I can see where the lines should be.
Why don't all the separator lines show up?

Steve,
as you are using the same fill for different skins, in section the rule is : same fill=merge.
If you want to separate them in section just duplicate the original fill and use alternatively for example empty_fill/empty_fill1/empty_fill/empty_fill1 etc
In plan view the rule is not the same all skins show and never merge except if you set them accordingly.
Some like this subtle difference, some don't
I bet that's it! I will give it a try. Thanks!

hello everyone i´m new here and bit new to archicad also.

i tought i was having the same problem as Steve but my problem is a bit diferent.

i noticed that in sections i can´t change the separator line color. i wanted all black fills with white lines separating them and i can't do it.

i tried red lines, blue etc, it only changes in plans. even if you try the normal fills with red separation lines it won´t change in sections. it always apears a black sparator line.

can someone help me?

thank you



(P.S) - i got it!!! thank you
