Simple composite WALL-FLOOR intersection

[stefan]

When two composite entities (wall and a slab) intersect, how do you get a correct cleanup?

I can set the priorities of the individual layers, defining the core of the slab to have priority over the core of the wall. But some lines of the wall continue and the non-core part of the slab (with lower priority) still pierces through the wall's core with higher priority.

As it does the stairs ... really frustrating and incomprehensible!

The second class nature of composites (along with a lot of other things) in S/E is one of the true failings of ArchiCAD. This slab-wall situation has been the point of complaint for years.

And, let's not forget to mention the 3rd class nature of 3D in situations like this. If you want a 3D axometric with hidden line and vectorial fills involving composites and SEOps, plan on a lot of manual editing.

As I am preparing a course to introduce our students to ArchiCAD in november, such details will fire back on me, when I "omit" them in my explanation. So I have to include the usable workaround as well.

But I'm sure, ArchiCAD has enough to offer to at least make them happy again after some of these "disappointments".
