I have been using ArchiCAD for a little over a year now and I am still finding new frustrations everyday as I work. Many of these issues have been resolved by patiently understanding the peculiar process as to correctly draft and model in the program. One issue that seems to be recurring is the general logic as to how the program represents the user's drafting requests. In particular, I find frustration that a program made to accurately portray the actual details of construction down to the sixteenth of an inch on window trim, seems to be completely bamboozled when it comes to something as pedantic as joining walls together in plan. If I want to accurately represent my framing in plan, then why does ArchiCAD insist that there should be a layer of gyp. that runs inside my wall cavity?
I understand that there are all sorts of tricks, work arounds, techniques, proper drafting/modeling standards and parameters that can sort out all sorts of messes. But my questions is why? Why can't there be a straightforward solution to such a simple problem? This is the issue I keep running into, there are no simple solutions. Please help.
