Sectioning Settings exclude Rooms

@HechtwieFisch Thanks for the workflow.

I have a similar issue where I do want to see the room, but there is not an easy distinction between

• an enclosed volume (the room)
• a surrounded empty space surrounded by the room)

Here is how the IfcSpace looks like:

And how it looks when I cut through:

You see a slightly different opacity, but once the rest of the building is in the background this becomes impossible.

Any way to solve that?

@Alex-J Would it be possible to have a simple IFC file that duplicates this issue?

[Alex.J]

@Pasi-Paasiala I’ll look into it

The holes are filled in sections ATM. We have not yet implemented this.

Do you still need a test file then @Pasi-Paasiala ?

[Pasi Paasiala]

@Alex-J Test model certainly doesn’t harm.

Here it is, I finally got around to find a nice example

Hi @Pasi-Paasiala,
just to let you know this issue is still cumbersome.

Here’s another example with a wall opening:

cutting in front of it:

cutting through it:

You can see the visibility is quite bad when the plane goes through it.

In the next version there will be a new option not fill sections of spaces.
The second problem of filling the openings might still not be fixed.
