Tip: Get the kinks out of your section/elevations.

If you have placed a section/elevation with unnecessary 'kinks' in it, remove them by dragging the kink out past the extents of the section/elevation.

Don't get it? See the picture.......

This is in the new ArchiCAD help (GS AC User Guide / Chapter 4: Element Creation / Visualization Elements / Section and Elevations / Placing Section Lines / Breaking Section/Elevation Lines), and I am almost sure it was in the 7.0 Manual... But a reminder is always useful ...

Link,
That tip about sections also works a treat for getting rid of extra nodes in a slab or roof! I just held down the shift key and slid the node(s) away; none of that wasting time getting it exactly on another node.
thanks
