Missing wall section line when slab touches it

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I feel like the solution to this is so easy but I can't figure it out. Please see attached. I have built a half height joinery piece made out of the slab tool and it backs up against the wall. Where the two objects touch, the section cut line of the wall disappears. Currently in the attached screenshot, there is a few things going on:

- The wall is on the "new status" and the Renovation Filter has an override which says any new status objects have a solid grey fill.
- The joinery piece is also on the "new status", but I have a Graphic Override which says that any element that is on the "Joinery" layer (which the joinery piece is), has a solid khaki fill and 0.05mm outline.

I have played with Intersection Group numbers, "Skin Separators", different building material strength / weaknesses, different overrides, but anytime these two objects touch in section, the line of the wall disappears where it touches.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

So, what was the exact solution?

Could please share it so others could benefit from the knowledge in the future?

I'm not sure if this is the "correct" way...but it's working for me (so far). This is what I had to make sure:

- I made sure the wall and slab had the same building material

- I made sure the joinery "slab" had a different building material

- The wall and slab have a solid grey fill because they are both on the "New" status, and the Renovation Filter has "New Elements" on an Override, which says any New element has a solid grey fill. In the Renovation Filter Graphic Override for New Elements the tick box for "Show Skin Separators" is ticked

- The wall and slab have a thick black line determined by their object settings (0.35mm black solid line()

- The joinery "slab" outline, line type and fill colour is determined by a G.O. which says any "slab" object which is on "Joinery" layer has 0.05mm black solid outline and khaki fill

- I made sure in the Section Settings Model Display I had nothing next to "Uniform Pen for Cut Elements" and nothing next to "Uniform Pen for Uncut Elements"

Interestingly, it seems that if two objects are intersecting in section, even if they have different building materials, as long as the SURFACES of the two building materials share the SAME surface colour (RGB setting), then you can achieve a seamless connection even if "Show Skin Separators" ticked.
