Re: higher stuff obscured by lower stuff Sorry, I don't know what you're referring to as "the rule," and I'd ask you to indicate what assumption you mean. I'm not a programmer, so I may not even know if I'm making an assumption. I thought I was restating what you'd said. Good point about my use of the word "wall." Sorry. I created what will be a physical wall inside the regular room walls (using several box objects for the various components) so that I could plan the placement of studs, plates, and sheetrock along one side of a staircase in my basement. In carpentry a plate is a 2x4 or larger length of wood that's laid horizontally on its side at the bottom and top of a wall. The vertical studs go between them and connect them. At the top of this internal wall I created is the top plate who's top surface is below that of the beam it intersects. I'd like the beam to obscure the plate as seen from above and can't seem to make it happen. You can download the SH3D file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pkw1pqjcgvwqqc5/Workshop.sh3d?dl=1 Thanks. It's just now occurring to me that the plate won't actually continue through the beam when I build it. That plate will stop at the beam, then I'll add a second 2x4 on the other side of the beam to continue the top of that internal wall. Duh. So that should fix my issue. But it'd be good to know what's causing the current behavior. ---------------------------------------- DaveLab Somewhere in western Massachusetts |
