I would like to have a new option available in the "Model View Options" dialogue. Under "Options for Fills & Zones" and "cut Fill Patterns" I would like to see an additional button or a sub button to "Solid". Currently if you select solid, all construction elements will show a solid fill in plan and in section which is great. But, archicad still creates boundaries based on the actual fill of the construction element. I would like to have Archicad ignore boundaries and calculate the view as if all the fills were the same, so fills would merge without the boundary lines between. This is very useful for preliminary drawings, and later for presentation drawings. This is most important for the new interior elevation tool. If this option is available you have much cleaner interiors and can keep them as "auto rebuild model" instead of having to change them to a "drawing" and clean up the mess. I have attached a pdf with a simple example to try and explain.
Many Thanks, JP
