Incorrect display of battered walls

Anonymous
Not applicable
I just noticed that if you have battered walls in a plan view, there is no mitered edge displayed at corners from the cut plane down to the story zero. You can see the wall base, but no projecting edges. Strange to leave those out.

Agree. Pretty weird. But, there are lots of things that don't represent properly in floor plan (SEOps being perhaps the biggest of them), suggesting that GS needs a new method for generating plan views. Hope we won't have to wait too long.

Funky tricks using 3DD either directly or as overlays are the only easy way around some of these things to keep the view 'live'....but you loose pen and linetype control (vs FPCP). Hate to have to use the patch tool or linework except when absolutely necessary as it just means more uncoordinated non-BIM items on the 'check list' before releasing drawings.
