Wall clean up in Core only display

[Steve Jepson]

This is a problem for me. I need to have drawings for all kinds of things that are simple 2 line walls. Structure Display ( Core Only) almost works but the walls are only going to clean up when the core materials are the same.

Is there some way to use Model View Options or something to get all of the walls in a Core Only Structure Display to clean up properly?

I haven't been able to do that either.

It works for Entire Model, but not for Core Only.

The best way for me to get the simplified .dwg with 2-line walls I need for the Engineer ( when the core materials are not the same) is to just change the Core materials so they are the same. Then after I have generated the .dwg I still need to open it in ArchiCAD, consolidate lines, and do some editing. Then I copy and paste those lines into a stripped down empty template, do a little layer management, then generate the .dwg again from that stripped down template file which has the .dwg Translator settings needed for the Engineers version of AutoCAD. Still too much work!

All because it is not possible to have the Core only view of the walls clean up properly when the Core materials are not the same.

It's a tiny little thing in terms of program functionality and will probably never be considered a priority to the programmers so I have very little hope of getting this fixed.
