Mirrored Hotlink

Nando Mogollon — Fri, 26 May 2023 07:01:58 GMT

Hi.
This is situation:
1)7 sites, 1 single House design. Some as it is some mirrored.
2)We have 1 pln as Prototype and 7 pln with each site.
3)The Prototype contains the Model of the House only.
4)The other 7 files contains all the landscape, including Meshes, exterior roads, etc... Also the Views and the Layouts for each and every Site.
5) We have hotlinked the Prototype on each site, some of them as mirrored hotlink.

On those specific files (with the mirrored hotlink) the curved walls are shown right on plan but differently on 3D window, grid lines does not show when looking to the "feet" of the grid lines, and so on...
I'm attaching the situation on one of the site files (with a mirrored hotlink on it)
Do you have any work around for this?

Thanks in Advance!!!

Nando

What build of AC12 are you running? Have you applied the latest hotfix?

[Edit - Just saw your other message about your dongles and that you are indeed on the current hotfix.]

Are the walls that are not showing properly complex profiled walls by any chance? Or?

There is a known bug about mirrored hotlinks in AC12. The workaround is to make a new module for the mirrored ones.

That is the reason why I just can't use AC 12 on larger projects (the cost of duplicating and having to upate every mirrored instance would outweigh any advantage of switching from 11). People are already talking about AC 13 while some add-ons for 12 are only appearing now and this very basic functionality screwup is still not resolved. Now figure out the cost of having some projects on AC 11 and some on AC 12, managing libraries and object versions, add-ons and work environments and everything, when the whole point of paying for an upgrade is that it is supposed to be a working upgrade. I think the annual version program is very seriously messing up everything and I am really upset.
