Can someone help me with this, the edge at the intersection between the walls and column is not showing. This happens at various parts of my model. I attached the plan and 3d view for referenece. TIA

The side of the wall and column are perfectly in the same plane.
As they have the same surface material, the joining line will be eliminated automatically.
Actually it seems just turning off the edge surface override for just the column is enough to get the joining line back.
Even the the walls and column still have the same surface material.

If surfaces are co-planer and they are the same surface material, then the join between then will disappear automatically.
That is why I was bit surprised that simply overriding the column edge surface, with the same surface material, made the join show.
But if you override the edge surface of both the wall and the column with the same surface, the join disappears again as it should.
It seems columns and walls behave a little strangely.
It is quite common to duplicate a surface material but give it a different name.
In my case it would be "paint wall 1" and "pant wall 2".
Both exactly the same surface material in appearance, but as they are separate attributes, Archicad considers them as different materials, and the joins between them will always show.
That is not what I have shown here though, all surfaces are exactly the same attribute.
