Hello.
Please take 10 mins to read this, and comment if you think it worth it.
This wish is inspired from the post from Mr. Matthew Loden
"Along with replacing the section outlines between dissimilar fills with separator lines, this would go a very long way toward fully automating the model to drawing process (the holy grail of model the building and annotate the views)."

"slabs and roofs should be affected by skin priorities"
We're talking basically about Sections, where we want to see a very clean intersection of all the materials between Slabs, Roofs, Walls, Columns and Beams. To clean an intersection we basically perform a series of SEO and we try to use Composites, Complex profiles and so on. Of course the vast majority also uses the Priorities set for particular elements as Beams (which can substract themselves off Slabs, Columns, and Walls) and Walls. All of this to "Clean" an intersection full of skins.
What if... we go directly to the issue: We want intelligent clean intersections from the very beginning.
My Wish: Having Priorities for the Cut Fills on the Fill Types palette. (for use in the skins on the composites/profiles.)
And this priorities should work as a Beam on a Slab or a column on a wall, as an automatic SEO.
Think about a typical section between a plastered wall and a finished slab on the facade: If the Core materials (Cut Fills) have a higher priority than the Finish materials, you don't have to worry about future SEOs to clean the intersection, even if the slab goes deep into the wall. This mean the Core materials always override the Finishing materials.(in this particular case).
So If you use several skins you also can use several levels of priorities as well. And you can intersect any complex element with any other element and still having clean intersections according to the cut fill priorities.
Thanks for you time.
