This has to do with either GDL or fill.
When manually designing trusses from AC13 roof construction library, I select various elements like blocks, ridges, purlins. Then in section view they get aligned. For some reason, once it's done, there is always loss of outline between two aligned GDL elements.
Cut fills are set to default background.
How do I prevent this from happening? Thanks in advance.[/img]

This is standard behavior in ArchiCAD
Well, I wish developers disable this behaviour in next version of AC.Thank you for info, Erich.
yes disable the feature. it may be easier to use the line tool and draw the effect you want or use erichs advise.
but disable this feature
on/off toggle-checkbox maybe??
but not disabled
Actually, you
In those cases, such as you show, where you want the lines between elements to appear, it is very easy to duplicate materials and apply different materials to different elements. There are also numerous methods for creating objects such as your truss within ArchiCAD. You need to learn them, learn their advantages and disadvantages and then apply the most appropriate technique to handle any given situation.
In fact it would be disastrous to existing projects should that ever happen and would also make new project much more difficult to get to appear correctly. Just accept it for what it is, learn how to work with it and use it to your advantage. For instance, this feature allows your walls to heal in elevation and, in most cases, eliminates unwanted lines from appearing in your elevations.
