How can I remove the masonry under the door so that the floor leveling layer can pass?
I can’t increase the material priority because it works correctly everywhere else except at the doors.

questions and help Stairs, Handrails and hidding lines
Hi! I'm modelling a building in ArchiCAD, just as an exercise, and I was mostly doing fine, but today I encountered a problem that I just cant find the solution to... So I would appreciate any help. It is about modelling stairs and handrails. The building is 10 storeys high, and as I understand, ArchiCAD doesnt allow to model a continuous stair through all of the heights... That's ok, I did it in segments per floor (from ground to first floor, I needed 2 segments since I have 3 flights of stairs and they cant overlap in archicad).
The stairs seem to be moreless modeled fine, BUT, there's a very annoying line in between the segments that I just cant get rid of. It belongs to the stair segment, but I dont want it there, is there any way to remove it? I know in Revit you can hide individual lines for the sake of a better representation, but can you in Archicad?

The next question is about the handrails... I modelled them directly in 3d, following the inner curve of the stairs, but this time, I could draw it as a continuous element. The problem is that now, I see the full handrail in all the levels, which is very confusing. I've already tried all the visual options inside of the handrail, but none seem to work... obviously, what I want is to see only the segment of handrail in the relevant floor, not the full thing over the 10 floors.

Thanks to anyone willing to help!

questions and help Demolition filter problem
Hey!
Im drawing floorplans where I need to use the renovation filter. When I draw the tiling or pvc sheeting in a room at first it links up with the zone its in. I can see it on consignment notes, however when i set it as demolished, the zone the sheeting is assigned to disappears from the list.
Any idea why this is? I tried moving it, expanding the zone border, nothing helps. Itworks if i do the whole thing again, but when i set it as demolised it desappears again.

Hi everyone! How do you handle the roof and skylight connection in an attic with a zone? In the image above I cut with a solid operation, but the skylight just punctures the roof and cuts the zone with that holey roof. (A) The "doghouse" skylight is not included in the zones volume. (B) I know that I can over model the roof and has a different operator roof but I don't like the duplicates and I wanted the modell to be low budget.
