Hi.
I've been thinking about this for a while, and still think that a good solution which implicates a big change on the way ArchiCAD works is to apply the priority based modeling.
Let me explain:
Have you seen the way the cut fills priority works on the floorplan for walls?
Well is the same principle applied to solids.
If the elements (walls, slabs, beams, roofs, etc..) has a material (cut fill), it should be doing an "automatic SEO" over the other materials(cut fill).
The same way today a column opens a hole on a wall, or a beam subtracts the slabs. But not between element types, between materials:
If you have, let say, brick, concrete, plaster, gypsum, you should be able to set the priorities on the materials, not just for each single object.
In the picture, there is a section with two walls and a slab, both with composites, and SEO to perform the actual view. The same thing could be done if material priorities could do SEOs.
