Structural Framing/Columns Paint Material Bug

[darwin_valenzuela]

Possible bug, unexpected behavior when using the paint surface command with structural framing/columns. 

The image below shows a column-beam-floor intersection of concrete objects. The material has a concrete hatch which shows as expected when cut in plan/section and 3D views, and has at maximum 2 faces painted. 

When a third face is painted, (faces A3, B3, C3, below), the cut material inherits the "paint's" surface material as the cut material. If paint is removed from the third face, the hatch returns to normal. 

Actual material volumes do not appear to be affected. 

The expected behavior would have surface graphics modified while leaving hatch material and quantity unchanged.

Can understand it would not affect the volume.

Does it affect the scheduled material area?

This is a known behavior.  If you concern is the cut pattern then use the same cut pattern for the main and the paint materials.

Thanks Toan, I am aware of the multitude of options for forcing the cut hatch pattern. My issue is that paint should be paint… if you happen to be working on a joint Architectural-Structural model and the architect needs to paint concrete objects for their graphics, its kind of silly having to set a filter on a floor plan to get concrete to look like concrete, or make a bunch of paint materials that depends on the substrate it is applied to.
