What has happened to section limits in 16

[Barry Kelly]

Why are sections behaving differently now in 16?
See the attached image.

In 15 the top of the floor slab below and the base of the floor slab above both show in the section (note this is a section not an interior elevation but the same thing happens anyway).
The base height of the section is limited to the top of the floor slab below and the top height of the section is limited to the base of the floor slab above.

Now in 16 these slabs at the height limits no longer show.
Am I miising a setting somewhere?
I know it is not the boundary contours in the section settings.
It has worked fine in every version up to 15 so why has it changed in 16?

I cannot reproduce your problem in AC 16, it works the same as 15. Is this the case in all Sections?

I found that with a new & reset it works fine.
But as soon as I go back to my job or template then it doesn't work.

On further expermentation I found that if I set the renovation filters to over-ride the "Fill Type" (why fill I am not sure) then the floor line shows.
Problem is I do not want to over-ride anything.

I can probably re-make the template but we have 100's if not 1000's of standard plans and existing jobs that we work with.

I just want to turn the reno filsters off and forget about them.

PS the section line needs to cut through the floor slab.
If it is off in the distance then there is no problem.

I just had a call from GS Australia (thanks Ian and David for your help).

It seems the problem occurs when using composite slabs.
Switch to a standard slab and all is fine.

Easy solution but the problem is we have 100+ users and I want to standardize everything as much as possible.
So using composites is the ideal way to do this.

GS Hungary please fix this in a hotfix for 16 - we can't wait for 17 (if it gets fixed there).

Another solution is to adjust the height limits of the section by a small fraction (ie -1mm instead of 0mm).
Again an easy solution but with a minimum of 10 sections in each job and hundreds of jobs and standards then it becomes a big deal.
