Floor line always there for round shape

Polar Bear
Booster

Hello,

 

Attached images.   A small bridge with the same material as the main floor and still a floor line appears. Despite having used the magic hand to specifically select the larger circle as trimming element.

 

What to do?

 

Thanks

I made a small test (Archicad 25 INT) with two circles. I placed a composite slab with the magic wand into two intersecting circles. I have no floor line, but in the section I have a line between both elements. I think due to different circle resolutions (this is hardcoded into Archicad) a line in the section view will mostly be present and can not be avoided, but there should be none in the floorplan.

You can also play around with the Magic Wand Settings. Maybe this could help you.

I'm sorry, but I can't think of any other possible solution, it seems only a workaround method can be used here. Based on you section view the upper most part of your composite floor structure has the same thickness. You could remove this composite layer and add another independent slab on top with the same thickness. This would eliminate any circle resolution dependent gaps as it can be modelled as a continuous surface (slab) acroos the whole area.

Also check Layer intersection priority numbers if the elements are on different layers.

Both items are on the same layer and the mvo setting is at "eliminate".

 

I was told it's a question of circle definition...  How to sort it out?

 

Thanks

Thanks,

I increased to the highest precision possible and still the lines are coming.  I have given up, have submission and it took at day trying to figure out building pad which fits well.  Because those circle aren't matching, the topo upward extrusion is a full mess.  Soil is passing between the materials!

I relooked at your circle, the difference in mine was the circumference of a circle is the edge of the bridge, there is line keeps appearing
