Complex Profile Column intersection with walls

we created a U Shape column for a lift well. Part of this column will cover a wall on the plan. The column should cut the wall since they are the same group intersection, but when we turn the model view option to be no fill for construction elements the wall appear under the column as you can see in the attached screen shot. The U shape column should cover the wall as the other column did but it does not happen. Any suggestion?

Maged, good to see you

I have a question: why are you using a column for the lift well? Is a wall not better?

The columns should intersect the walls, therefore the part of the wall where the column intersects should be eaten out, maybe?

Nice to hear from you also Djordje
yes but the point is the Complex Profile column does not eat the wall

I am not quite sure if I have understood your problem. May I suggest a solution that is very simple? Choose the wall that shall be hidden. Use the Display Order (by right click) and choose Send to Back. In this way the wall will (hopefully) be presented under the Lift Well in the Plan.
