Structural Foundation/Pile cut symbol visibility problem

[AlexDT]

Hello!

I've been having troubles with structural foundations/piles. From time to time the nested symbol is not being shown correct. It seem random when it happens.In the  creencast below I reproduced my problem with the cut function. It seems to be a bug because it get corrected by any editing done to the element. It is a serious problem accidentally sending the wrong information. In a project with hundreds of piles, it very difficult to see if the error occures.

Are there other with this problem; have you been able to solve it?

In the attachement below you can see a screenshot of 2 piles that are identical.

Filled regions are floating at the top of your ground beam. they both take the same pace really so its either one or the other. That is why they appear and disappear.

Do they print OK? I thinks is only a display/graphic issue. as you zoom in and out the view, the symbols start appearing and disappearing. See do they print ok in pdf and paper.

They print wrong too, that's the main problem actually.

I saw that the view in the project was set to wireframe. Must have happened when I was testing it. Usually we have this plan as hidden lines when it occures. So it seems to happen with both settings. Could it be it still be that they mix with the surface of the beam then?

I would say that the surfaces mix-up together. In your pile family, can you lift up the symbol above the pile?

I  just tried that, no difference unfortunately.

AlexTD, I had to do the same thing as you described above. 

I had to show colour-coded piles based on their loads and also generate a schedule. I didn't use a symbol, to show on plan but instead I used an extrusion and a void (to cut the slab)so that the extrusion will appear in plan. 

The colour can be turned on or off in needed and can apply a material to show different colours.
