Composite Wall not showing correctly in AC17 plan view

[Anonymous]

The composite walls, at some point of my AC17 session, just went wrong displayed. Both, own created and AC predefined walls shows only one component of the composite, it only happens in plan view and in all existing stories, the same wall looks correctly in section, elevation and 3D view.

Could it be a bug or could it be an activated feature that i did by mistake?

Probably you have activated a Partial Structure Display option that shows only the core of strutures?

that´s possible, i don´t know how it happened, neither i know how to disable that option.

I also tried opening a new drawing using exactly the same settings and a merge o everything on the original file and it works good, that makes me think that it could be an AC17 bug, kind of corrupted wall display under certain circumstances.

Hope this is not a bug because i´m actually testing Archicad to migrate from Vectorworks and it has been great so far

ok, now is the moment to feel me dumb, you are right, searched and founded the Partial Display Option and worked!

"AC17 bug" jaja sorry (only have 2 weeks learning)

One thing to know is that Saved View also store the Partial Structure Display setting. So it is possible that you have it same to some setting, then you activate a Saved View and the Partial Structure Display setting changes to the value stored in the Saved View.

Hi, during the holidays I tried to upgrade my ArchiCAD 17 skills and edit a new template to but I wasn't able to configure materials and composite structures to obtain correct connections. I thought that with the new priority settings I should be able to get detail level designs without patches, but I wasn't.
Are there available some templates with preferred walls and slabs, or some example projects? I need to understand if I'm doing something wrong, or if it's really impossible to obtain what I want…
At this time I'm a little disappointed with priority based connections…

Could you tell us the exact situation you are facing, possibly with an attached image? Then we can see what the best solution would be for that situation.

I'm trying to have a correct joins, showing with light pen the components and with a heavy pen the external contour from the composite structure. In the example, in a first time I had four wrong connections. So I tried o modify priority and materials, but it wasn't enough… must modify end-pen in composite structure to heavy pen type to have better connections in 2D plan, but this carried troubles in sections, with much heavy signs between walls and slabs

Second plan with better plan connections (but not all right)

Section with unwanted heavy signs
