There is same nonsense object behavior continues in AC 14 unfortunately.
Why don't they fix this?
I read something about this problem on forum. There are some ways to do it correctly. (SEO, complex profiles... etc). But should we play like this?
When you're creating the slab you can select the "core" but it doesn't work in section correctly. Also intersections are same.
There MUST be a fix or improvement! In my opinion this is a big shame of AC.

It's nice to hear it.
Erika Epstain said that "This is a long outstanding wish."
Then i was thinking they don't read all carefully.
So hope to see these "long outstanding wishes" will be performed in the next "Hotfixes" or "Versions".
Thanks,
Ogabson.

Actually this isn't true.
Not entirely anyway.
Most companies not only do engage their clients and users at their forums more frequently and proactively than they do here at GS, but a good number will be quite open about future versions of their software, sneak peeks into possible features in development, but also what can and cannot be achieved within their resources, and schedules.
Take a look at any one of the Chaosgroup (Vray), Pixologic (ZBrush), Luxology (Modo), NextLimit (Maxwell and RealFlow), McNeel (Rhino3D), or RandomControl (Fryrender and Arion) user forums, and consider the level of involvement and engagement of the developers of those software with their users.
Even the evil empire, Autodesk, openly and frequently engages their users in their various official and unofficial forums like the Area, AUGI, and user-moderated forums like Revitcity. Ken Pimental who is a significant character on the 3DS Max development team can be easily and frequently found on places like CGArchitect.com talking about things like XBR (Excalibur), their next generation CGviz application still in development that 3ds MAX is supposed to evolve do in about 5-10 years.
Even our 'sister' application Vectorworks has a higher degree of interaction and dialog between the users and not just the developers, but even the president, and about topics like the next generation 3D kernel of their program to allow them to evolve Vectorworks into more of a BIM application than it currently is.
In other words, in the world of software development, engaging and interacting with your customers is more the norm, and not the exception. In fact one could very well argue that it is a necessity in trying to remain competitive in a business that's fast becoming as much about public relations as it is about software development savvy.
Graphisoft's behavior and lack of participation in these forums (except when dispensing hotfixes) is the exception, not the norm.
Understandably most software firms will tend to be guarded when it comes to discussing features still in development which may or may not make it into future versions, or about release schedules and roadmaps, - and a lot of it could probably be chalked up to NextLimit's debacle with their infamous Maxwell beta program of a couple of years ago when they promised users the universe and instead delivered buggy release after buggy release - but even they learnt their lesson and eventually found the right balance between being able to talk to their users, without having to commit to too much, and as of now they do have a full time staff member whose duty it is just to liaise with the customers and make sure they are more or less kept in the loop in development an software issues.
And it's not even like this would be new to GS - a quick search of even the Wishlist sections here, will reveal that up until about 7 or 8 years ago, they frequently used to take part in these forums, and even guardedly discussed possibilities of future versions and possible features.
I don't know what changed in the firm to change this policy - whether it was Gallardo's depature (a former GS president who actually used to make an appearance in these forums and talk to people) or the Nemetschek acquisition (though, they don't seem to interfere much in the day-to-day running of their subsidiary firms,and Vetctorworks development and PR would confirm this), but whatever happened, it's been pretty dire since then. And it's not surprising nor coincidental (IMO) that that was right around the time when they began releasing versions with half-baked features (or no new features or productivity improvements at all) that catered less and less to their "bread-and-butter" smaller customers, as they seemingly sought to go after larger and more corporate clients.
Bottom line : GS have terrible PR and customer relations - and particularly in these forums and when considered in comparison to other firms and their direct competitors in particular.
To try to paint it as otherwise, just feels like it would be disingenuous.
Thank you Bricklyne,
This must be the storm what i mean
Actually when i read this sentence i suddenly remembered the stair maker tool
I've met with "Archicad 9" since that time i've seen many wishes about stairs. I'm getting exited when a new version AC is announced. I realize that they've improved stair tool and more productivity tools in this version. But nothing has changed for years.
I don't know GS firm structure and strategy. But something iş going wrongly or slowly. Have architects lose their roles in GS team? It smells a bit engineering weather.
I envy Revit's improvements in this case. They're improving the program very fast.
Wish a better "AC 15" with fulfilled important customers' wishes.

We have this wish for ages! A very simple wish , posted many times on the Forum! I have given up! 
Still looking?
