Section: hidden skin separator lines

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Some skin separator lines off the composite structure are only visible in the floor plans not in any sections.

It are only those lines which fill is smaller than 25mm this.


For example the composite structure is as follow;
25mm gypsiumboard - 50 insulation and then again 25 mm gypsiumboard.

In section it shows just a simple wall 100mm thick. When i select the composites the hidden lines are white....


pls help. Thx

Nothing I can think of seems to quite fit with what you are describing. Possibilities are differences in pen settings, display or view options. Perhaps some screen shots would help clarify.

It could be your floor plan cut plane is higher than your walls instead of cutting through them. Check under the Document menu, open the Floor Plan Cut Plane dialog, and lower the "Cut-plane height to Current Level" so it cuts through the walls.

If I understand correctly the problem is the reverse. The fills are showing properly in plan and not in section.

As promised a image showing the problem.

On the left you see a wall showing two red lines while it should be showing 4 lines (on the right)

the skin separator lines are gray 1[/img]

I believe Structural display settings that needs to be changed from "Core only" to "Entire Structure" in your View settings.

I tried but no success. I checked in the composites manager and the line settings look alright.

Can this be a bug? Showing in floor plan but not in the sections?

If you have done all that (model view options to show all skins/fills) and still do not see the skin lines, then I suspect it is related to either or both (a) your scale and (b) the widths for the pens assigned to the various skins.

Try either or both: (1) setting your scale to something ridiculously large and (b) switching to hairline display (vs true weight) to track this down...

You might have duplicated a wall (two or more instances on the same spot). Check the add-on Check Duplicates Tool (Help / ArchiCAD 14 Downloads)
