Hi,

It is a requirement that the external masonry should have at the intersections rectangular concrete columns.
I used the column component but then when I place the walls the columns are not visible anymore and the walls are covering them. This is not a normal behaviour I would assume
Also if I draw the walls first and then try to insert the column within wall I get errors that the column cannot be inserted.
Another way of doing it is by using mass elements but I would not prefer to.

Any ideeas how to achieve this?

Kind regards,

Florin

Architectural columns do get 'joined geometry' with walls and use wall layers for fine scale views. Use structural column family.

I assumed your wall is not concrete, otherwise in 8.0 concrete column and wall would get cleaning automatically.
