3d document missing lines

[Anonymous]

Hello:

My archicad keeps not showing the edge lines when elements are together, is there a way i can fix this? (archicad 18 64 bits - gforce 330m)



Regards,

Archicad heals objects that have the same material together and won't display those lines so you can create more complex objects from simple ones. An easy way to do this is just duplicate the material you're using and assign objects next to each other alternating between original material and the duplicated one. Then AC won't heal the material and you're lines should show up.

I don't do material counts and that type of analysis so I'm unsure if that will or how it will affect doing that, however.

Thanks!, ohh god, there should be a turn off option or a script to disable that feature, well i guess i better start duplicating materials haha:).

Another way to get some of those lines to show up is with the use of Solid Element Operations. If you have things grouped together perhaps that would be too much work. ?
