Healing of stacked slabs

[Paul King]

Hi - wondering what I might be missing>
I cannot seem to copy a slab up by the slab's thickness (i.e. stack them) and have the join line between heal in elevation.

Is this a known problem?

My alignment and material matches are precise, because one is a direct copy up of the other

I have been forced to workaround by doing a solid operation addition of the two - which surely should not be required?

Hope there is something obvious going on!

Cheers

You need to set the value shown on the attached illustration to '1' in Registry Editor.
It worked for me.
Make sure to close the Registry Editor, then restart ArchiCAD after making this change for it to take effect in ArchiCAD.

For the Mac guys - unfortunately I don't have a Mac so I don't know how to do it under MacOS.

This is not risky? Why is the option not in AC itself..? Wonders shall never cease..

I don't know if it is risky.
I know that the use of the Special menu is risky as stated by Graphisoft. Maybe there are options in the Registry Editor that are risky. This one does not seem risky to me because the only thing it probably does is it instructs the program to eliminate certain lines in 3D based on certain criteria.

As to why this is not in AC itself - I don't know.

ours is (obviously) not to reason why either . . .

for the mac users:
open the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.graphisoft.AC 9.0.0 INT v1.plist (where "9.0.0 INT v1" is your version of archiCAD) in apple's 'Property List Editor'. change the same setting lázsló has shown from "No" to "Yes".

'Property List Editor' is an application that installs as a part of the apple developer kit. if you don't have it, you can change this value using the terminal and 'writing defaults' . . . but somebody who knows far more unix than me will have to explain that one . . .
