Column fills not showing

[Anonymous]

Hello.

I have a problem when drawing columns (or beams) inside walls. In certain conditions the column looks fine with the gray fill inside going over the wall's fill, sometimes instead the column border are shown, but with no gray fill inside (the material properties are the same, with gray solid fill as section and projection, plus the column family has the "pre-cut in views" option checked).

I figured out that:

- the this occurs when the column touches the beams in its top

- changing materials doesn't fix this issue

- chaning the view properties like level of detail or view range doesn't fix this either

I'll post some screenshots for better unterstanding.

Thanks for the help

I'm using Revit LT 2020.2

are you sure that is the correct approach in construction as far as i know beam should stop at the column and not column touching the beam or below the beam? thanks

Either this is the wrong or right approach, it gives me enough flexibility and ease/speed of drawing (this doesn't really matter at the end of the day).

Still, even with your suggestion i have the same issue.

I found out that the beam family i was using was not drawn properly, so some weird voids/extrusions were still clipping with the column; the column looks fine if i use a generic beam family.

Anyway I understood that the column looks fine in plan view as long as the upper face is not clipping with other objects except walls, if this face is inside (in my case) a beam, in the plan view the object is represented only with its contours.
