trim problem

[Anonymous]

the texture seems to be washed away after trimming the walls by the roof. although i refer to the upper part of the roof the body of the walls are intersected with the lower part of the roof. is there any way to override this problem?

it could be related to New Target Surfaces ?

i did not use the solid element operations method. just did trimming.

I found I had this same problem switching from v15 to v18....I had to dig for HOURS and found the solution by trial & error. this should be easier to find in the help topics.

Solution: you need to check the intersection priority for the roof material, and be sure it is higher than the intersection priority for the walls you are trying to trim.

in the pull down menu:
options-element attributes-building materials-intersection priority

good luck!

I was running into the same problem. I tried the settings mentioned in the previous post, but they didn't work, as I don't really have "building materials" assigned to my complex profile walls...which I assembled for my own template a few years back. (AC16 & earlier).
In AC 18, I finally got it to work by checking the Roof Settings, & changing the "Trimming Body" from the default "Pivot Lines Down" to "Contours Down". Now it works!

Thanks for sharing! It was such an easy fix too, wonder when the other setting is useful because it just looked broken!
