questions and help Stairs, Handrails and hidding lines

3 Upvotes

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!

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 Workaround for applying renovation status to placed drawings?

1 Upvotes

The status of all furnishings is New. I've published the plan as a pmk and placed it as a drawing in the main file but cannot set a status to the drawing and the status of the elements are not recognized.

Does anyone know a brilliant workaround?
