the issue began with the two rebates being formed vertically at the
further messing around (several hours. can i send you my invoice graphisoft?) revealed that the walls were not joining in junction arrangements that I had set them to.
the wall reference line should form a continuous line around the exterior of the building because i had carried out an
in the example below, skin priorities are as follows...
14 - external core
12 - internal core
6 - interior lining
4 - exterior cladding
... which leads back to the original 3D problem: how the hell does an exterior wall skin -
(and yes: priorities have been checked, double checked and examined in the finest detail. all walls are set to use the settings of the composite.)
remember this is nothing fancy: it's pretty depressing that after twenty-four(?) years the basic building blocks of archicad - walls - cannot form a simple, everyday junction correctly. don't even get me started on wall/slab/roof junctions...
THIS HAS GOT TO BE ADDRESSED SOON.
Firstly I think its fair to say that composite priorities work most of the time, however they are complicated to use, and not reversible with an undo command, so you can easily spend half an hour sorting out some complex junction. I would like to see some way of setting individual skin priorities either in plan view or within the wall toolbox.
Secondly there are still junctions that skin priorities can never deal with, nor composite walls. Enclosed is a screenshot of one I drew a couple of days ago and had to patch.
My view is that there needs to be the ability of creating a polygon wall with its own patch symbol embedded in it, which can be edited as necessary. As to how this might work I don't know.
I have never entirely grasped wall intersections in Allplan, it has an alternative approach which has its own inherent problems by which composite walls are formed of multiple linked walls. This does allow skins to be intersected individually at the users command, but can cause the program to struggle when junctions are revised. However don't rush out and buy Allplan because virtually everything else is worse than ArchiCAD.
