There is something horrible that ArchiCAD does and it makes no sense to me, I have about 10 different marketing options on the same set of floor plans that divide up an office space into various different layouts. I have done this using dedicated layers for all the walls unique to a particular marketing layout and layer combinations saved into views to display the various options.
The trouble is, the walls on hidden layers are intersecting with the visible walls and producing gaps, blank triangles on corners and all sorts of horrible display glitches. I cannot find any way around this other than not having all the plan options over the top of each other. This severely limits the functionality of the layering system.
Is there a secret to this that I'm not aware of? My boss is talking about doing construction plans in 2D if this can't be sorted, even though I've said I will take out the marketing options for the construction issue, the point is, things like this make him lose confidence in the program and want to 'run home to mummy' i.e. draft in an AutoCAD style like he, and many of his ilk, are used to. I have point blank refused to work on plans using lines to draw walls, doors etc. but there's a recession on and having integrity can be harmful to one's mortgage repayments. Please help.
