mirrored hotlink missing parts

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 07:02:34 GMT

I have a hotlink which is used twice in my project. One is un-mirrored and the other is mirrored. The un-mirrored one is fine but the mirrored one looses some walls. If I delete the mirrored one and copy mirror the original un-mirrored one, the walls reappear and everything is fine until I next load the project and they disapear again!

Any one had this problem and knows what is causing it?

Thanks.

I also had a problem with a mirrored hotlink module..
But was the materials name that in some units changed.. so when I exported them... it was a mess... I couldn't resolve it.. Let's see if anyone have a good idea.

Unless you tell us the version of ArchiCAD you are using and the platform (Mac or Windows), etc. - nobody is really going to be able to help you much. Click the text link "Profile" near the top of the page and fill in your signature with your information.

Thanks,
Karl

This is a known bug.
Mirror a copy of original pieces and create a separate module of the mirrored condition.

Thats carzy! Then you have two modules to edit. The whole point of modules is to reduce drawing time. I don't remember getting this problem on 11?

Your welcome for the work around while the bug is fixed.

Also spelt "Khazi" but pronounced the same, and with the same meaning.

Thanks goodness I read (thanks guys for writing) this thread. That renders 12 unusable for me. I had converted a large project to a trial version but had not noticed the problem (maybe because I did not work with the modules or insert new modules, I just checked that everything that was already there looked fine?)

By the way, is there any 'Known issues' document/webpage/wiki for each release? (which by the way maybe should have a link from right next to the 'Update' or 'Download' button)

Erika,

Do you know if this issue is known a considerable time? If so, I hope for a hotfix soon. I have a 90+ residential project and I need to start with the siteplan...

Again, if backwards compatibility was offered by GS, I could finish in AC11 with ease...

The Readme lists what is fixed in the hotfix

Sure. The thing is this has been a 'known issue' since the beginning of AC 12 times it seems. So together with a list of what they actually are fixing with each hotfix, a 'known issue' list would be nice --something like 'do NOT use this if you want to use this functionality' or 'do not waste your time banging your head against this wall and use some workaround, we know this is a problem and we have not fixed it yet'.

Hi all,

At my office, we're using AC18. The issue seems to be still there.
I'm reassured to know we're not doing anything wrong but I would really like to find a better workaround then having two separate HLMs.

So has this issue evolved or are we still at the same point?

Hi All,
This data loss has appeared in AC18 with update #1 (it has not been present for a long time). We have fixed it and the correction will become part of the next update package (#2)! Best regards, kata
