Wall material/surface in 3D view

I am making a 3D visualization in AC 17 and I have problems with the outdoor materials on the walls. They do not intersect like they did in AC16. Hope someone has a solution to this. (Se attached image)

With ArchiCAD 17 we have introduced Building Materials as a new super attribute. If an object uses the Building Material then such should not happen. If you have overwritten the Face surface - to display a different a different Surface than the one is defined for the BM - but not the edge surface such can happen. Check your wall's settings and make sure that under model you override the edge as well.

I hope this helps,
