I am using floor slabs to create concrete beams below in-situ concrete floors - the top of the surrounding floor slabs are created at the same height as the concrete beams and then I join their geometries to make it appear as one object.
My problem is that in section views some of the beams display as an uncut element (in elevation) even when the section line is cutting through the beam. The only way I have found to correct this is to delete the offending beams and creat a new one by copying a beam which does display correctly but I can't figure out what causes this effect.

Hey,
I'm doing the same thing atm but didn't come across your problem...
so you are using the same floor material to creat the beam? how about if you change the cut hatch? will it change in your beam?

The beams are the same material as the floor slab - to create a beam I've been copying a floor slab (a 200mm thick slab for instance) and then editing the outline of the slab to that required by the beam and changing the slab thickness to whatever the beam depth is (eg 450mm). The 450mm slab used for the beam is a different floor type but was created by duplicating the original floor slab type and changing the thickness of the structure..... also one 450mm thick beam will display cut in section while another one of the same type will display as an elevation of the entire beam.
Changing the cut pattern of the material will alter the pattern of the slabs that show as cut but the problem beams do not display a cut pattern at all as they display in elevation.
See attached pdf to see what it looks like.

interesting, the only thing that I can notice in the second image is that your slabs on either side of the beam have differnt thicknesses, if it's 2 different slabs try to join them both to the beam...
as for your method of construction;
what i do normally is create my floors with the thickness of the beams and rename them what ever the engineer calles his/her beams, i.e B-3 = 350mm deep
in the drawings, I import the engineer and overlay over my floor plan, I than create my normal floors tracing over engineer and using the same naming, that way it is clear what beam runs where, I than join the beams to the floor.
never had the problem you have...

mate,
unjoin your floor and rejoin but click on the your concrete beam first!
