Issues with Coping of Steel Elements

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I have been having an issue when coping channels into columns. The hidden lines dissapear when coping channels. I've attached a picture to illustrate. 
The bottom left member is HSS, bottom right W-beam, the top right is a coped channel and top left is an uncoped channel. The issue seems to occur only with channels.

Am I missing something?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello @Anonymous

I never came accross this before. And I'm not sure maybe I am missing out on something... I tried to create the same what u got there to see the error but it's not working (as in I can't seem to be able to get same result like you)

Can you mabe attach the file to have a look at it?

I was hurting my brain trying to figure this one out and it was such a simple fix.
