Hello all ArchiElite's!
I have a problem with a steel frame object.
I have added the "Double Slope 12" object from the standard library. The problem is that I can't see the profile of the frame-leg on the floor plan.
What can I do to resolve this problem?
I have attached a picture of what I experience, to the left, and what I want it to show, to the right. (The picture to the the right has been edited and is not a result from AC)
Thanks for any answers or comments!

I know a " moderator" that can help

well actually it is not an option for that object , a workaround ( that I haven't tried my self , not sure if practical even ) . to consider 3D documentation for those elements and combine it with the floor plan ( without the steel frame ) in the layouts . ahh ...even saying that seems taking so long !!

It takes care of the display problem you are talking about. It also has a corresponding beam object that allows accurate construction of the multi-pieced frames that are typical of pre-engineered metal buildings.
When you have a frame consisting of 2 or more beams, what do you prefer to do then?
Some beams can therefore have a slope since the cross section of the beam can differ from the start to end of each beam. Can you solve this problem without using objects, eg., a object of a beam that allows to change the cross section fo each end. This will benefit the idea of exporting it to other file formats pain free.

Alternatively, create custom profiles for all the BS etc sizes ... do I hear an AAARGH? ... yes, I thought so😉
