Curved Walls (curved edge not showing in elevation?)

I have quite a few curved walls in this model.
I've placed an "out of the box" exterior elevation and the "edge" of the curved wall is NOT showing....what gives folks?

I will report this issue to Graphisoft.
Seems to be caused when the Window is placed so its edge is at the exact point where the curved and straight wall segments meet.

Rob, as a workaround you can try to move all your Windows in the curved Wall just a little tiny bit. The move should be so little that dimensioning does not even show it because of rounding. That way the line may appear.

thank you Lasz for your suggestion.
I have indeed tried doing just that and the will still does not show its edge.
I've even tried to "remove" all the windows and still, no edge showing.

I just can't figure it out.

Hm, that's strange because I tried the same thing in my ArchiCAD copy and it worked and the line has now appeared.
If you remove the Window from the Wall, does the line appear? Just to establish that the Window is causing the line disappearance.

I've tried it with two "simple" (basic) walls.
put them 90 degrees to each other....use the "fillet command" with a 5'-0" radius lets say...hit "enter" and the two walls will fillet themselves with a curved corner, then I look at them in elevation and no line to represent the curved corner...dunno.

Could you save this file and send it to your local reseller guy of GS USA or whoever provides you with support. This may be file-specific. I am sure the guys at GS HQ would be interested in looking at it.

Most certainly will.
