There are three ways to add subtractions: 1) use Arch Remove, 2) via task panel and 3) editing Subtractions property in the property editor.
Unexpectedly (not mentioned in the documentation), Arch Remove produces a different result than the other two:
- If I "Arch Remove" beam B from a partially intersecting beam A, the beam B is hidden and its object style properties are modified so that transparency is 80 and colours are changed, which can be seen if it is made visible again. In addition to A's geometry modification, that is.
- If I add B to A's subtractions via task panel or the property editor, B is hidden but its object style properties are not modified. If I make it visible again, it looks like a normal beam.
- I could swear that I saw a difference between 2) and 3) as well (B wasn't hidden when using the property editor) but I can't reproduce that anymore.
I wonder if this could be a clickable option when using Arch Remove?
