MEP APPROXIMATION

Good afternoon. We ask the entire Archicad community to address the issue with MEP element approximation. It's unbearable and ugly when you're designing an interior and a circular ventilation connection has a smaller approximation and is displayed incorrectly in 3D than a straight pipe. This works perfectly in Revit. You promised to fix this issue back in version 28. In fact, you don't have an element approximation feature in MEP library elements. I have to open previous versions of Archicad and do it there, and then migrate to version 28 or even version 29, since the issue remains.

Also look to this https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/MEP-error/td-p/644816
This is also my topic. You can see that join detail is worse in smoothness than tubes.

OK, by approximation, you mean resolution.

 

I do not use MEP but I just tried a round duct route in 28 using the MEP library pack objects.

 

When I joint two round ducts together, the automatic joint 3D resolution matches that of the duct.

I have no idea what I am doing, but I am not seeing the lower resolution that you are seeing.

I not sure how much more help I can give.

 

Are you manually placing the connection or just joining two ducts and getting the automatic connection?
