Line issue

Hi there, 

 

Is there a way to make my shelf show its edges in an internal elevation view? The outline of my shelf is shown below - it is a slab. As you can see, the left edge of the shelf isn't showing. I tried changing the display order to bring to front but it still isn't working. The object next to (the grey lines) is a wall. What are ways around this? It's quite annoying cause I don't want to draw 2D lines in.

I don't think there is much you can do.

I am assuming your wall on the side of the slab is extending forward in front of the slab.

If that is the case, the wall will always hide the edge of the slab.

Even if they are different layers with different intersection group numbers.

 

The only way I see is to leave a very slight gap between the slab and the wall.

Or draw a line.

Or use the same pen as the wall for the slab uncut line.

I also tried with a beam instead of a slab and got the same result.

Hi clauds 1223,

 

I don't know if there's a change with Archicad 29.

Example with Archicad 28, use composite walls instead of simple walls even for single material walls.(see image).
