Polywall as Column And Lines appearing in ELevation

Anonymous
Not applicable
The lack of irregular shaped columns makes me use polywalls for columns.
The problem?

When i have a wall next to the polywall the line shows up.
How can that dissappear? (yes we need irregular shaped columns)

Look at the pictures if you like to see the problem

Even if the reference lines match and the material is the same?

I have the same problem with slab - wall seperation line.
This is caused by different materials. I made them custom so i can latter change them at will.

How can i dissable material variance and lines appearing in elevation.?
In 3d its all ok!

Oreopoulos:

They are not the same. You can see which sides have reference lines by turning off "Walls & Beam Intersections" in the Display Options dialog box, or by moving the curser to each side and seeing whether the mercedes is heavy (reference side) or light (non-reference side). The first side drawn will be the reference line, more sides might be reference lines depending on the total number of sides. You might get better results from using a combination of regular walls for your columns rather than polywalls. I know this is not the answer you wanted, but I hope it helps you find a solution.
